The goal of this study was to validate the Transgression-Related Interpersonal Motivation Inventory (TRIM- 18) on the Slovak population. One non-functional item had to be excluded from the Slovak version of the TRIM-18, so it is referred to as TRIM-17. The scale was verified on a representative group of adults in the productive age bracket of 18-65 years (n = 1209). The three-factor structure of the scale was corroborated. The interrelated factors of avoidance and revenge correlate negatively with the factor of benevolence. All three subscales show sufficient internal consistency (ω = .77 – .94 in different groups), and the total score has reliability of ω = .94 – .96. The validity of the questionnaire was corroborated by criterion validity (high correlations with other forgiveness scales) and construct validation (convergence with satisfaction with life and happiness, and divergence with anxiety, depression, and anger).
