摘要：Although there have been many examples of sociological research of religiousness and unreligiousness in Croatia conducted since the late 1960s, religiousness as a psychological phenomenon in Croatian circumstances has not been particularly explored. As a result, there is not much data in such research about the developmental aspects of religiousness on the level of the individual, nor about the connection with other personality traits and individual behaviour. Furthermore, in research carried out in Croatia, psychometric characteristics of the instruments used are mostly unknown, thus making the authors rely on the obvious validity of the applied procedure. In this paper the authors present the procedure of developing a short scale of religiousness (KLR). The scale consists of five statements with the help of which somewhat different aspects of religious cognition are examined. Validation of the scale has been carried out on a sample of 3678 adolescents aged 15 to 19 - students of all secondary schools in the Primorsko- Goranska and Dubrova~ko-Neretvanska counties. Internal consistency of the scale is .88. Its validity has been checked by comparison with the existing procedures and by determining the scale's discriminativeness on specific subsamples. With regard to its characteristics, this scale can be used as a reliable and valid indicator of religiousness in Croatian language circumstances.
