This article reports the results from a study conducted to investigate the reliability and validity of the Interpersonal Relationship Resolution Scale (IRRS). The IRRS is an instrument intended to measure relational violations and forgiveness with regard to interpersonal injury. Internal consistency coefficients and discriminant validity were explored. Similar to previous studies, the findings of this study suggest that the IRRS is generally reliable and valid. Some inconsistencies in reliability results between this study and other research are discussed, and suggestions for future research to explore these inconsistencies are provided.

Key Words: Interpersonal Relationship Resolution Scale • interpersonal injury • forgiveness • psychometric characteristics
