Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the validity and factorial structure of the Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS) specifically for its Italian translation, addressing a gap in existing research.
- A sample of 523 participants (mostly female) completed the Italian HFS, and confirmatory factor analysis confirmed good fit for the original factor solution while showing poorer fit for alternative models.
- The Italian version of the HFS demonstrated strong reliability and psychometric properties, suggesting it is a solid tool for measuring dispositional forgiveness.

The Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS), a self-report measure of dispositional forgiveness (with subscales to assess forgiveness of self, others, and situations) was developed and demonstrated good psychometric properties. Forgiveness correlated positively with cognitive flexibility, positive affect, and distraction; it correlated negatively with rumination, vengeance, and hostility.
