Abstract
This research aims to analyse the psychometric properties of AF-5 questionnaire using exploratory and confirmatory techniques in university students of different religious tendencies, as well as to examine the relationship between self-concept and religious tendency (Christian, Muslim and atheist-agnostics). The sample consisted of 597 students (23.04 ± 3.72 years old), where 156 (26.1%) were men and 441 (73.9%) were women, using as main instruments the AF-5 questionnaire and a self-registration sheet for religious tendendy. Results showed that AF-% questionnaire offers reliability indexes greater than α = 0.7. In addition, factors are properly adjusted with the original model with five factors. Furthermore, the academic and emotional dimensions of self-concept displayed a greater strength in Christians, whereas social dimension was stronger in Muslims. Family and physical dimensions were higher for university students who profess some religion.
