Abstract

Data provided by 4,468 12- to 18-year-old students enrolled in ten religious secondary schools in Hong Kong are employed to address two research aims. First, the data support the three factor structure of the Chinese Junior Personality Scales in Three Dimensions, and document the internal consistency reliability and construct validity of these three scales (measuring extraversion, anxiety, and toughmindedness). Second, the data support the hypothesis that there is no significant association between scores recorded on these three scales and Christian religious affiliation among 12- to 18-year-old students attending religious secondary schools in Hong Kong.
