This study aimed to revise and test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Decisional and Emotional Forgiveness Scale. In experiment 1, 1171 college students and postgraduates were invited to complete the questionnaire that provides the data for this scale. The results from this, following exploratory factor analysis, showed that the factor loading values met the standards detailed in the past literature, except in the case of item C2. The results of confirmatory factor analysis (while excluding item C2) showed a good structure validity. Furthermore, it also showed that a four-factor model fit the data well and that the reliability values (including internal consistency and test-retest reliability) met the commonly held standards. Decisional and emotional forgiveness subfactors were significantly correlated with transgression-related interpersonal motivations and self-construal. Experiment 2 was conducted in order to further confirm the validity of the scale: the results of mediated analysis showed that emotional forgiveness and the path from decisional forgiveness to emotional forgiveness could mediate the relationship between stress perception and resilience. Thus, the revised Chinese version of the Decisional and Emotional Forgiveness Scale showed good reliability and validity within a Chinese sample, demonstrating its usability as an effective tool to evaluate college students' level of decisional and emotional forgiveness.
本研究旨在修订并检验中文版决断和情感宽恕量表的信度和效度。在实验 1 中，邀请了 1171 名大学生和研究生完成问卷，该问卷为该量表提供了数据。探索性因素分析的结果表明，除了项目 C2 之外，其余因子的负荷值都符合过去文献中详细规定的标准。验证性因素分析的结果（排除项目 C2）表明，该量表具有良好的结构效度。此外，还表明四因素模型很好地拟合了数据，且可靠性值（包括内部一致性和重测信度）符合公认标准。决断和情感宽恕分量表与与侵犯相关的人际动机和自我建构显著相关。实验 2 进一步验证了量表的效度：中介分析的结果表明，情绪宽恕和从决断宽恕到情绪宽恕的路径可以中介压力知觉和韧性之间的关系。因此，修订后的中文版决断和情感宽恕量表在中国样本中表现出良好的信度和效度，表明其可作为评估大学生决断和情感宽恕水平的有效工具。
