    Open AccessLeslie J Francis, Ursula Mckenna et al.ARTICLEJournal of Religion and Health2026

    Drawing on data provided by a convenience sample of 123 clergy serving in parish ministry in the Church in Wales, this pilot study was designed to test the predictive power of the Brief Resilience Scale on individual differences in susceptibility to professional burnout as conceptualised and assessed by the Francis Burnout Inventory, after controlling for personal factors (sex and age) and personality factors (introversion and emotionality). The …

  • Engaging the AQ10 to Predict Professional Burnout or Poor Work-Related Psychological Wellbeing Among Anglican Clergy in Wales

    Open AccessLeslie J Francis, Alison B Sailer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Religion and Health2024

    The ten-item Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ10) is a self-report instrument originally designed to identify referrals for professional diagnosis for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Recent studies suggest that this instrument may also be tapping more generalised affective disorders. Working with this interpretation, this study examines the predictive power of the AQ10 to account for additional variance, after personal and personality factors have be…

  • The Payne Index of Ministry Styles

    V John Payne, Christopher Alan LewisARTICLEMental Health Religion & Culture2021

    The present study examines the data collected from two clergy surveys conducted within the Church in Wales a decade apart (mid-1990s and mid-2000s). In both surveys the Payne Index of Ministry Styles was found to be reliable. Although the data appear to be consistent over the 10 years, there are exceptions to this, suggesting two changes in the ways in which clergy serving in the Church in Wales were conceptualising their ministry. The first chan…

  • Confirming the factor structure of the Francis Psychological type Scales (FPTS) among a sample of Anglican clergy in Wales

    V John Payne, Christopher Alan Lewis et al.ARTICLEMental Health Religion & Culture2021

    The Francis Psychological Type Scales were designed to provide a fresh conceptualisation and operationalisation of the four constructs underpinning psychological type theory (introversion – extraversion, sensing – intuition, thinking – feeling, judging – perceiving) in a way accessible for self-report surveys within church congregations and among religious leaders. The present study tests the factor structure of this instrument among 364 Anglican…

  • The construct validity of the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale in light of psychological type theory

    Leslie J Francis, V John Payne et al.ARTICLEMental Health Religion & Culture2018

    This study explores the construct validity of the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale in the light of psychological type theory that hypothesises a bias in item content to favour extraverts over introverts, sensing types over intuitive types, feeling types over thinking types, and perceiving types over judging types. Data provided by 364 Anglican clergy serving in the Church in Wales, who completed the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale alongs…

The present study examined the psychological type profile of Anglican clergymen serving within the Church in Wales. A sample of 268 clergymen completed the Francis Psychological Type Scales. The data demonst…
