Abstract

The Guilt Inventory contains subscales measuring trait guilt, state guilt, and moral standards. Previous research has suggested the reliability of these scales and the validity of their interpretations. The items, coding, and scoring procedure for the Guilt Inventory are presented here as well as additional evidence regarding the reliability and measurement characteristics of its subscales.
