本研究目的為中文化Thompson, Snyder與Hoffman(2005)的「心田寬恕量表」(Heartland Forgiveness Scale;HFS)。該量表分成三個分量表,包括:寬恕自己、寬恕他人及寬恕情勢。施測樣本為全臺灣北、中、南的大學生,依照各地區學生在全國的比例抽樣,共503位大學生。結果發現,本量表Cronbach’s 係數為.78∼.87,顯示內部一致性良好。建構效度之各項整體適配度尚在可接受範圍內。再以「幸福感量表」及「GQ-6量表」為效標,發現具良好之同時效度。針對不同背景變項的部分,不同性別或宗教信仰不會影響寬恕的傾向。此外,本量表在中文化過程中採直譯及回譯比對的嚴謹程序,具有價值性和應用性,未來可提供跨文化的比較及未來研究的參考。
e purpose of the dtudy is to valdate the reliability and vadility on Thompson, L. Y., Snyder, C. R., Hoffman, L.(2005) Heartland Forgiveness Scale(HFS) in Chinese-version. The subscales of Chinese-version HFS are forgiveness of self,forgiveness of others and forgiveness of situations. According to the proportion of college students in north, central, and south Taiwan, the 502 colledge students are selected to do the purposive sampling of Chinese-version HFS. The result of the sampling is analyzed in four criterions: internal consistence, construct vaildity, concurrent vaildity, and diffrerences of gender and religion. Cronbach's alpha is from .78 to .87 which means good values of internal consistency. The goodness to fit of construct vadility shows acceptable. Mental Health Continuum-Short Form(TMHC-SF) Scale and GQ-6 show the good values of cocurrent vaildity. Besides, the forgiveness tendency does not differ in gender and religion after analyzing the background variable. In sum, HFS is localized in Chinese strictly with literal translation and back translation, so Chinese-version HFS is valuable and applicable to be reference on cross-cultural comparison and research.
