Summary:The aim of the present study is to argue that LFT Scale for Students can be a useful measure for one of the most important human beliefs. For confirmatory factor analysis, the sample consisted of 722 students (293 boys, 429 girls). The estimation method was the maximum likelihood. The confirmatory factory analysis reduced the initial six factors to five, the LFT to exams factor being eliminated. The final version of scale contains 42 items. The Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranged from .65 to .87. The results supported good psychometric properties being a valid measure that could be used for evaluation and research.
