| Abstract: | Objective: Spanish-speaking counseling professionals developed a Spanish translation for the Forgiveness Reconciliation Inventory (FRI). Method: Spanish-speaking participants (N = 199) completed the Inventario del Perdón y Reconciliación (IPR) and a demographics questionnaire through Qualtrics. Results: The IPR reported a four-factor structure and comparable fit indices to the FRI. Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis of FRI and IPR samples demonstrated evidence of partial invariance. Conclusions: While sufficient evidence and interpretations can be made for clinical use, additional evaluation of test items and psychometric construction is recommended to improve the validity and reliability of the FRI and IPR for use as research tools. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Scores on the FRI/IPR can support clinical practice with culturally responsive evaluation and actionable processes for topics of forgiveness/reconciliation, commonly explored in individual, group, family, and couples counseling settings across English and Spanish-speaking populations. Cross-cultural use of the FRI/IPR for research purposes would benefit from further evaluation of psychometric structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
