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.
