Abstract

The self-developed psychological test instrument: Questionnaire for recording a Beliefsystem (FEB) is a self-evaluation questionnaire with 14 items. With the help of this questionnaire the individual, latent, inner attitude mata, a kind of motive in the sense of “need to know” or “want to believe” should be determined. On the basis of the results of theFactor analyses, theFactor correlations and the reliability calculations, we can state, according to the criteria of classical test theory, that theFEB is a test which is also capable of measuring the theoretical constructs mentioned above in a valid and reliable manner.
