WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Methodology for Measuring Religious Activity, MIRA Test

Religious Activity Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs

This measure is designed to evaluate multiple dimensions of religious involvement and related motivation. The Religious Activity Assessment can help clinicians and researchers characterize patterns of religious practice, internal experiences, and the personal meanings associated with spirituality.

The instrument includes 69 items and typically requires about 13 minutes to complete. It is intended to support a structured appraisal of religious activity and attitudes, including distinctions between intrinsic and extrinsic religious motivation and the extent to which religious engagement is expressed through private and public behaviors.

In clinical settings, results from the Religious Activity Assessment may be used to inform case conceptualization, clarify value- and faith-related coping resources, and guide discussion of how spiritual commitments interface with daily functioning. The measure is attributed to Kenneth I. Pargament.
