Tendency to Forgive Scale (TTFS)

Aggression

The Tendency to Forgive Scale (TTFS) is a tool used to measure an individual’s ability to forgive. Developed by researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, the TTFS is a self–report survey that measures one’s willingness to forgive, as well as the strength of their motivation to forgive. It is designed to assess an individual’s readiness to forgive, and can be used to help individuals make decisions about their relationships and how to move forward in them. The TTFS consists of 20 items that measure the individual’s willingness to forgive, as well as their motivation to do so. The items are divided into four subscales: Willingness to Forgive, Motivation to Forgive, Ability to Forgive, and Tendency to Forgive. Each subscale is designed to measure a different aspect of the individual’s ability to forgive. The Willingness to Forgive subscale measures the individual’s willingness to forgive, while the Motivation to Forgive subscale measures the individual’s motivation to forgive. The Ability to Forgive subscale measures the individual’s ability to forgive, and the Tendency to Forgive subscale measures the individual’s tendency to forgive. The TTFS is a useful tool for both individuals and counselors. It can be used to help individuals assess their readiness to forgive, and can also be used by counselors to help them better understand their clients’ ability to forgive. It can also be used to help individuals make decisions about their relationships and how to move forward in them. Overall, the Tendency to Forgive Scale is a useful tool for assessing an individual’s ability to forgive. It can be used to help individuals make decisions about their relationships and how to move forward in them, as well as to help counselors better understand their clients’ ability to forgive.
