Decisional forgiveness across spanish and american samples: Translation, validation, and measurement invariance of the decision to forgive scale

More than twenty different models of how forgiveness occurs have been proposed within forgiveness literature. One idea highlighted in many of these models was that forgiveness entails, at some point, a decision to forgive the offender. The Decision to Forgive Scale (DTFS) is a 5-item measure that al...
