“…This was subsequently supported empirically (Hook, Worthington, Utsey, Davis, & Burnette, 2012). In contrast, in a cross-sectional survey, Kurniati, Worthington, Poerwandari, Ginanjar, and Dwiwardani (2017) found that people in Indonesia experienced both decisional and emotional forgiveness when resolving a conflict.…”

“…Kurniati et al (2017) found that Indonesians with high HV are more likely to forgive. Furthermore, because HV has been found to be related to both decisional and emotional forgiveness (see Kurniati et al, 2017), we statistically controlled it in our intervention study.…”

“…Indonesia seems like it is a culture that might be open to both decisional and emotional forgiveness. Indeed, Kurniati et al (2017) found evidence for both occurring naturally. This suggests that people might respond to forgiveness interventions that might be influenced by Western individualism yet compatible with collectivism.…”

According to some theorising, in collectivistic societies, forgiveness is mainly enacted to maintain relationships, not engender emotional transformation. This present study was designed to explore whether forgiveness affects decisional and emotional forgiveness in Indonesia, a country categorised as collectivistic. The evidence‐based REACH Forgiveness psychoeducational group intervention was adapted to collectivistic culture (REACH forgiveness collectivistic; REACH‐FC), and its efficacy was assessed in a randomised controlled trial. Undergraduates in Indonesia (N = 97; 24 male; 73 female; ages 16–21) were randomly assigned within a 2 × 3(S) quasi‐experimental repeated‐measures design comparing immediate treatment (IT) and waiting list (WL) conditions [Condition (IT, WL) × Time ([S] 3 time points). Harmonious value, a personality variable assessing the strength of participants' desire for group harmony, was the covariate. The condition × time (S) interactions for both decisional and emotional forgiveness were significant, challenging some previous literature. Clearly, not all forms of collectivism have similar effects when individuals and communities deal with transgressions.

“…Studies in Chinese culture and other collectivistic societies (e.g., Japan) have shown that harmony and graciousness were associated with both trait forgivingness and state forgiveness (Fu, Watkins, & Hui, 2004;Fu, Watkins, & Hui, 2008;Kurniati, Worthington, Kristi Poerwandari, Ginanjar, & Dwiwardani, 2017;Sandage, Hill, & Vang, 2003). Seeking harmony is strongly related to decisional forgiveness but weakly related to emotional forgiveness (Hook, 2007), which is because people high in harmony and graciousness choose to forgive so as to maintain social harmony (i.e., achieved through a decision about one's actions), but not necessarily to obtain a personal, internal feeling of inner peace (Hook, Worthington, & Utsey, 2009).…”

Objective Forgiveness includes processes that involve a decision to stop bitterness and thoughts of revenge (i.e., decisional forgiveness), which further motivates the forgiver towards the restoration of positive emotions (i.e., emotional forgiveness). Using stress and coping framework, this study investigated intrapersonal and interpersonal facilitators of decisional and emotional forgiveness in a Chinese marital context. Method Participants were 154 respondents who had experienced or were experiencing spousal infidelity. Results Solidarity‐oriented personality and perceived partner's reconciliation motivation facilitated benign attributions and empathy, then facilitated higher levels of decisional forgiveness, which promoted emotional forgiveness. Strength of marital bond before the infidelity directly predicted higher levels of emotional forgiveness. Conclusions Our findings provide evidence for the differentiated decisional and emotional forgiveness processes after spousal infidelity and delineate different coping mechanism that triggers them, thus lending culturally appropriate evidence for clinicians who work with clients facing spousal infidelity.
