Abstract

Buddhist’s belief progress must be the resource and the indicator of the buddhist welfare. The belief progress is meant to ‘believe in-understand-practice-accomplish’ the buddhism. Here the scale was developed in order to reflect on the buddhist’s religious wellbeing. My pre-questionnaire was examined by the statistical methods, factor-analysis and Cronbach’s coefficient alpha, Pearson correlation coefficient, significant p-value, t-test and ANOVA. Finally the scale of 38 items was proved its reliability by the internal consistency, Crobach’s α .969. It’s highly good result. The content validation as well as the statistical examination was so much reliable. Buddhist’s long term and daily commitment, sense of happiness, degree of self-confidence etc. all the variables are in significantly positive correlation to the value of belief progress. Also the long term and the daily committment of belief are significantly correlated to the sense of happiness and the self-confidence. As a conclusion, this scale is thought to be useful for the examination of Buddhist’s belief progress. Nevertheless it needs more chances of validation like any other developing the psycho-social scales.
