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

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).
