Forgiveness Reconciliation Inventory

 

Assessment name:  Forgiveness Reconciliation Inventory

Scale overview: The Forgiveness Reconciliation Inventory is a 24-item assessment of forgiveness and reconciliation.

 

Author: Richard S. Balkin

 

Response Type: FRI items are presented along with a pair of words with five boxes in between the two words. Participants check the box to indicate how closely a word matches their feelings.

Scale items

In the Forgiveness Reconciliation Inventory study by Balkin et al. (2014), the authors presented evidence for 24-items organized into four subscales of six items each. The four subscales are: Collaborative Exploration, Role of Reconciliation, Remorse/Change, Interpersonal/Intrapersonal. Scores for each subscale range from 6 to 30 and can be plotted on a profile as illustrated in the article.

Psychometric properties

The authors presented means and standard deviations as well as Cronbach alpha values ranging from 0.88 to 0.93 for the four subscales. Factor analysis supported the structure of the FRI. Validity data revealed a significant inverse relationship between each of the four subscales of the FRI and the two subscales of the Forgiveness Scale (AN, PP).
