Abstract

Barry Tse developed and validated the Buddhist Religiosity Scale (BRS-22), designed to measure religiosity among Buddhists across traditions. Incorporating both emic and etic approaches, the BRS-22 demonstrated strong psychometric properties and predictive validity, offering a culturally and doctrinally appropriate tool for research in psychology, spirituality, and religious studies.
