Studies in order to examine mean differences between age and gender were also conducted. To this end, two studies were conducted. 39 participants took part in building items and, from the instrument applied, 91 items were generated. The second study included 477 participants who answered Perception Scale of Religiosity. Two factors were found and the results were favorable to the validity and reability. Differences in means indicated that there were significant findings for the externalization of religiosity. Therefore, older participants had higher averages.
