Development and validation of the Trauma-Related Guilt Inventory (TRGI)
Article Abstract:
The Trauma-Related Guilt Inventory (TRGI), a measure for assessing event-focused trauma-related guilt has been developed and evaluated for its psychometric properties. TRGI contains 22 items assessing specific trauma-related beliefs. The inventory has high internal consistency and adequate temporal stability, and its scales and subscales significantly correlate with measures of guilt and posttraumatic stress disorder, depression and adjustment. TRGI can, therefore, be used for cognitive-behavioral interventions with trauma survivors.
