DISCLAIMER AND TERMS OF USE
1. Non-Clinical and Educational Purpose Disclaimer
The Personal Forgiveness Scale (the "Scale") is provided solely for personal self-assessment to assist you in evaluating your degree of forgiveness toward a specific individual. The Scale does not constitute mental health treatment, medical diagnosis, psychological evaluation, or professional therapy. Completion of the Scale should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultation with a licensed mental health professional if you think you need assistance in forgiving someone.
2. Lack of Scientific Validation
This Scale is not used in formal academic or scientific research on forgiveness and has not been independently validated as a standardized psychometric instrument. Although certain items are derived from the validated
Enright Forgiveness Inventory, this instrument itself is unvalidated and provided "as-is" without representation or warranty regarding its scientific precision or diagnostic validity.
3. Data Collection, Aggregation, and Privacy
No Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is collected in connection with your submission. By completing the Scale online, you grant permission for your responses to be stored and aggregated with those of other respondents. Aggregated, non-identifiable data may be summarized and disclosed publicly for educational, informational, or public awareness purposes.
