The Santosh–Francis Scale of Attitude toward Hinduism has been designed to facilitate research concerning the psychological correlates of religiosity among young people growing up within the Hindu tradition, and in a way that allows findings from such research to be compared with similar studies conducted within other religious traditions using the Francis Scale of Attitude toward Christianity, the Katz–Francis Scale of Attitude toward Judaism, and the Sahin–Francis Scale of Attitude toward Islam. Data provided by 330 individuals between the ages of 12 and 35 attending a Hindu youth festival support the reliability and validity of this instrument and commend it for further use in studies conducted within the Hindu community.
