  Religous Observance, ISSP, Republic of Ireland - 1998

Year: 1998
Module: Religious Observance
Variable: V68

Question: There are many different ways of picturing God. We’d like to know the kinds of images you are most likely to associate with God.
Below are sets of contrasting images. On a scale of 1-7 where would you place your images of God between the two contrasting images? The first set of contrasting images shows friend at 1 on the scale and king at 7. If you imagine God as a friend, you should place yourself at 1. If you imagine God as a king, you should place yourself at 7. If you imagine God as being somewhere between friend and king, you would place yourself at 2,3,4,5 or 6. Where would you place your image of God on the scale for each set of images?
