Introduction: Self-forgiveness has been a complex construct to define, which has resulted in a shortage of instruments that adequately measure it as a process. In Spain, until now there is only one validated instrument to measure self-forgiveness, for this reason the present study aims to validate the Enright Self-Forgiveness Inventory (ESFI).
Method: A sample of 276 people (84 men, 192 women) aged from 18 to 25 years, completed the Enright Self-Forgiveness Inventory (ESFI) after its adaptation to Spanish, as well as the Enright Forgiveness Inventory-30 (EFI-30), the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI), the Short form of Social Desirability Scale (M-C SDS), the Scale of psychological wellbeing (RYFF) and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21).

Article Synopsis
- Two studies were conducted to assess the Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS) for measuring forgiveness in Spanish, addressing a lack of suitable instruments in this language.
- The first study with 203 students showed discrepancies between the factors identified and the original HFS structure, prompting further research.
- The second study, involving 512 participants, confirmed that a reduced eight-item version of the HFS is valid and reliable for assessing forgiveness in Spanish adults, demonstrating good internal consistency and validity.
