Abstract

The present study was conducted to develop and validate the Forgiveness Process Scale, which is based on the process of forgiveness experienced by people who were hurt in interpersonal relationships. There was an attempt to find differences in psychological coping methods in each phase of the Forgiveness Process. For this purpose, three interrelated studies have been performed. Study 1 was conducted to develop the Forgiveness Process Scale based on the Process of Forgiveness Model by Lee, Kyoung-Soon. From exploratory factor analysis, six factors have been derived: ‘Hatred,’ ‘Struggle,’ ‘Stabilization,’ ‘Redefinition,’ ‘Forgiveness’ and ‘Maturing.’ Five items for each of these factors, thirty in total, have been formulated. In Study 2, confirmatory factor analysis showed a reasonable fit index for 6 factors of the Forgiveness Process Scale. Convergent validity with the Rye Forgiveness Scale (FS) and the Korean Forgiveness Scale (KFS) was verified showing a significant correlation coefficient. The Forgiveness Process Scale reliably differentiated upper forgiveness level group from lower forgiveness level group. As a result of concurrent criterion-related validity analysis, sub-factors of the Forgiveness Process Scale were significantly correlated to anger, anxiety, and depression. Limitations of this study and suggestions for further research and practice are discussed.
