Religious Orientation Scale (ROS) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief self-report measure is designed to assess how an individual relates to and uses religion in daily life. The Religious Orientation Scale (ROS) focuses on distinguishing intrinsically oriented religious commitment from more extrinsically oriented, instrumental use of religion.
The measure includes 20 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Items are intended to characterize motivations and functions of religious involvement, which may be relevant in clinical formulation or research when religious context is a salient factor. The Religious Orientation Scale (ROS) is attributed to J. Michael Ross.
