TL;DR: The RCI-10 (Religious Commitment Inventory-10) as mentioned in this paper was developed for 6 studies and used in 6 studies with a sample size of 155, 132, and 150 college students; 240 Christian church-attending married adults; 468 undergraduates including (among others) Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, and non-religious (n = 117).
