The internal consistency reliability of the Santosh-Francis scale of attitude toward Hinduism among Balinese Hindus
Get PDFThe present paper intends to make a contribution to the empirical psychology of religion among Hindus. The Santosh-Francis Scale of Attitude toward Hinduism was originally developed and tested among Hindu affiliates living in the United Kingdom and subsequently tested among Hindu affiliates from the Bunt caste in South India. In the present study this instrument was completed by 309 Balinese Hindus (159 males and 150 females). The data support the internal construct reliability of the scale in this context (α = .83) and commend the instrument for wider application for research in the field of the psychology of religion within the Hindu community
The internal consistency reliability of the Santosh-Francis Scale of Attitude toward Hinduism among Hindu Bunts in South India
Get PDFThe Santosh-Francis Scale of Attitude toward Hinduism was originally developed and tested among Hindu affiliates living in the United Kingdom. In the present study this instrument was completed by 100 Hindu affiliates from the Bunt caste in South India (48 males and 52 females). The data support the internal construct reliability of the scale in this context (α = .91) and commend the instrument for wider application within the Hindu community
A novel approach to generate correctly rounded math libraries for new floating point representations
No full textGiven the importance of floating-point~(FP) performance in numerous domains, several new variants of FP and its alternatives have been proposed (e.g., Bfloat16, TensorFloat32, and Posits). These representations do not have correctly rounded math libraries. Further, the use of existing FP libraries for these new representations can produce incorrect results. This paper proposes a novel methodology for generating polynomial approximations that can be used to implement correctly rounded math libraries. Existing methods produce polynomials that approximate the real value of an elementary function f(x) and experience wrong results due to errors in the approximation and due to rounding errors in the implementation. In contrast, our approach generates polynomials that approximate the correctly rounded value of f(x) (i.e., the value of f(x) rounded to the target representation). This methodology provides more margin to identify efficient polynomials that produce correctly rounded results for all inputs. We frame the problem of generating efficient polynomials that produce correctly rounded results as a linear programming problem. Our approach guarantees that we produce the correct result even with range reduction techniques. Using our approach, we have developed correctly rounded, yet faster, implementations of elementary functions for multiple target representations. Our Bfloat16 library is 2.3× faster than the corresponding state-of-the-art while producing correct results for all inputs.Peer reviewedTecnical Report DCS-TR-75
Religion and mental health among Hindu young people in England
Get PDFThe aim of this study was to explore the relationship between mental health and attitude toward their religious tradition among a sample of 330 young people attending the Hindu Youth Festival in London. The participants completed the Santosh-Francis Scale of Attitude toward Hinduism together with the abbreviated form of the Revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire which provides measures of neuroticism and psychoticism. The data indicated that a more positive attitude toward Hinduism was associated with lower psychoticism scores but unrelated to neuroticism scores. There is no evidence, therefore, to associate higher levels of religiosity with poorer mental health among young people within the Hindu community

Assessing attitude towards religion : the Astley–Francis Scale of attitude towards theistic faith
Get PDFThis study builds on the research tradition modelled by the Francis Scale of Attitude towards Christianity, the Katz–Francis Scale of Attitude towards Judaism, the Sahin–Francis Scale of Attitude towards Islam and the Santosh–Francis Scale of Attitude towards Hinduism to propose a generic instrument concerned with attitudes towards theistic faith. The scale properties of this new instrument, established among a sample of 284 (200 female and 84 male) 16–18-year-old students, commend it for use in future research
