“…In line with our hypotheses, basic hope as well as aspects of forgivingness were inversely related with the level of depression. Our results are consistent with previous findings linking basic hope with depression [13], hope with dispositional forgiveness [31], and forgivingness with depression [51,52]. Moreover, we found evidence supporting the idea that dispositional forgiveness mediates the relationship between hope and depressive symptoms.…”

“…optimism about future in different areas, hope for achieving goals or as avoidance of hope threats, and none of them have examined basic hope. Nevertheless, Mróz and Kaleta [31] revealed a positive correlation between basic hope and dispositional forgiveness, while Trzebiński and Gruszecka [32] found that basic hope was negatively related to the tendency to seek vengeance and positively related to reconciliation with the wrongdoer.…”

Although hope and forgiveness have been both negatively correlated with depression, actual relationships between all three variables have never been investigated. The aim of the study was to examine a theoretical model in which forgiveness mediates the relationship between basic hope and depressive symptoms. The sample was composed of 77 psychotherapy outpatients. Polish adaptations of the Basic Hope Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the Heartland Forgiveness Scale were used. Negative and positive aspects of dispositional forgiveness of self, others, and situations beyond anyone's control were applied. Results indicated that the general level of forgiveness, as well as overcoming unforgiveness, fully mediated the relationship between basic hope and depression symptoms, while positive dimension of forgiveness partially mediated the links between the variables. The findings demonstrate that the tendency to forgive might be a mechanism via which basic hope reduces odds of depression.

“…So far only the adapted or translated versions of original English scales were used in the Polish research on forgiveness (e.g. Mróz and Kaleta 2017;Kossakowska and Kwiatek 2017;Charzyńska et al 2018;Kaleta and Mróz 2018). Meanwhile Polish culture is classified as a less individualistic than the culture of the United States and countries of Western Europe (Hofstede et al 2010), which may affect the understanding of forgiveness.…”

The paper presents the concept of emotional and decisional forgiveness proposed by Worthington et al. (Journal of Behavioral Medicine, 30, 291-302, 2007) and employing the Polish versions of the Decision to Forgive Scale and Emotional Forgiveness Scale developed in line with this theory. Both scales are tools measuring episodic forgiveness is forgiveness for a specific transgression that is made once. Decisional forgiveness is a declaration to forgive, whereas emotional forgiveness is a "change of heart". The results of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis showed that the structure of the Polish scales is exactly the same as of the original tools, i.e., in case of the DTFS, a one-factor solution (CFI = .998, GFI = .990, RMSEA = .042), and in case of the EFS, a two-factor solution (CFI = .987; GFI = .984; RMSEA = .051). The Polish versions of the DTFS and EFS were significantly correlated with other tools of forgiveness (TRIM-18episodic forgiveness and HFSdispositional forgiveness).

“…Different studies show that basic hope correlates positively with optimism (Zięba, Czarnecka-van Luijken, & Wawrzyniak, 2010), the tendency to forgive (Mróz & Kaleta, 2017;Trzebiński & Gruszecka, 2012), and coping strategies, especially existential ones (Trzebiński & Zięba, 2003a). According to Ogińska-Bulik (2013), strong basic hope favors the ability to use life's opportunities.…”

In 2014, the Eastern Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Lugansk became a scene of military operations that continue until now. Data from 58 soldiers who have taken part in the Ukrainian conflict were analyzed in order to answer the following question: How do basic hope and various aspects of resiliency explain the intensity of different aspects of posttraumatic growth (PTG) in soldiers fighting in the East of Ukraine? Four stepwise regression analyses were conducted. In each of them one of particular aspects of PTG was the dependent variable, whereas the group of predictors consisted of basic hope and three aspects of resiliency. It turned out that Personal strength as well as Appreciation of life were positively related to Openness to new experiences and a sense of humor. Relating to others was strongly related to Basic hope. Finally, Spiritual change depended on Basic hope as well as Persistence and determination in action. Because of the small sample size, the results should be treated with caution. However, they seem to encourage further research concerning this group.
