| Abstract | Forgiveness is one of the positive coping strategies for interpersonal conflict,rebuilding the quality of peer relationships. The Peer Forgiveness Scale ( PFS) ,measuring forgiveness after an interpersonal offense, was developed and itspsychometric properties evaluated. Participants were 436 emerging adults inThailand with ages between 18-25 years. Confirmatory factory analysis indicatedthat a four-factor structure with 20 items was the better fit model. Multigroupanalysis supported measurement invariance across genders. The reliability of thePFS was found to be satisfactory and strong evidence of construct validity wasdemonstrated. The psychometric properties of PFS support its feasibility as a researchscale to measure forgiveness in peer relationships and as a scale to use incounseling. |
