The present study aimed to develop a concise, easy-to-use scale with good
psychometric properties which measure the attitude towards atonement
objectively. The process was divided into two phases; in Phase-I, the
indigenous scale for attitude towards Atonement was developed while in
the Phase-II, the psychometric properties were established. Theories of
Atonement were thoroughly reviewed for the generation of an item pool
with the help of subject experts. This generated a pool of 58 items. Later
on, items were reduced to 39. A sample of 400 adults (18-70 years) from
the area of Gujrat was selected using convenience sampling for the pilot
study. After this scrutiny, 21 items were left. Varimax Rotation method
through Principal Component Analysis was used to evaluate the factor
structure of the scale. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was carried out
which resulted in 15 items under the four subscales labeled as Redemption,
Restitution, Reformation, and Justice. Confirmatory factor analysis further
supported the structure of the scale. Test-retest gave the correlation of the
scale as .98.
