Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a valid and reliable instrument to measure forgiveness in the intergenerational family. In the final scale the contructs were defined as: (1) realization, (2) recognition, (3) reparation, (4), restitution, and (5) resolution. A detailed four‐step procedure was used to provide the scale with construct, content and predictive validity. This paper describes a four‐stage process to develop the scale, data supporting the validity and reliability of the scale, and the final version of the instrument.
