Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the factorial structure of the Chilean version of the Questionnaire of Forgiveness of the Former Partner (CPD-S; Yarnoz-Yaben & Comino, 2012) to examine its metric equivalence according to sex and type of relationship (marriages and cohabitation), to evaluate its association with mental health indicators and life satisfaction and estimate its internal consistency. For this, a sample of 715 separated or divorced Chilean people was evaluated. Data provided evidence that the instrument fits properly to an one-dimensional structure, that the scale is invariant according to sex and type of relationship and that it has an adequate internal consistency. In addition, significant associations were identified with measures of mental health and life satisfaction in the expected directions. In conclusion, the validity of the CPD-S scores for its use in the Chilean context is supported.
