Abstract: This study aims to develop a trait forgiveness questionnaire for Chinese college students, hoping to use it as a testing tool for forgiveness education and forgiveness treatment. The questionnaire was first developed on the basis of previous literature review, open questionnaire survey, individual interview and the evaluation of the existing tools used to measure trait forgiveness in western countries. 614 and 413 college students were surveyed respectively. A series of analysis were carried out following a standardized process of developing questionnaire, including item analysis, reliability analysis, validity analysis, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The results show that the reliability and validity of the questionnaire are in line with the psychometric standards, that the 8item questionnaire consists of two factors—Tendency to Forgive and Tendency to Revenge—whose cumulative variance contribution rate is 48.11%, and that the twofactor trait forgiveness model has the best fit index compared with other competitive models.
