“…Considering that self-forgiveness is a personal process, it can be quite natural that the mediator variable with the highest effect size in the relationship between cognitive distortions and self-forgiveness is self-compassion. On the other hand, the fact that optimism is developmental (Ümmet & İme, 2020), altruism and gratitude are interpersonal concepts of positive psychology (Keskinoğlu & Akbulut, 2020) may have kept them somewhat in the background in the cognitive distortions and self-forgiveness model.…”

“…Altruism is shown among the concepts focused on interpersonal approach in positive psychology (Keskinoglu & Akbulut, 2020). Considering that forgiveness of others is an interpersonal process, it can be quite natural that the mediator variable with the highest effect size in the relationship between cognitive distortions and forgiveness of others is altruism.…”

“…In this respect, self-interested or coerced help is not considered altruism. Altruism is shown among the concepts focused on interpersonal approach in positive psychology (Keskinoğlu & Akbulut, 2020). In this context, when the studies in the literature are reviewed, it is understood that there is a negative significant correlation between cognitive distortions and altruism (Krieger & Falcone, 2017; Reed, 1983).…”

“…The gratitude aspect of appreciation is the recognition and acceptance of a gain from another person or God, and being grateful to another for his/her efforts, sacrifices and actions (Adler & Fagley, 2005). Gratitude is shown among the concepts focused on interpersonal approach in positive psychology (Keskinoğlu & Akbulut, 2020). When the studies in the literature are reviewed, it can be said that gratitude softens the negative effects of cognitive distortions (Jung et al, 2014; Ramsey, 2019).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate whether optimism, self-compassion, altruism, and gratitude act as mediators in the relationship between cognitive distortions and emerging adults' forgiveness of themselves, others, and situations. The sample consisted of 488 university students in their emerging adulthood, comprising 66.20% females and 33.80% males, ranging in age from 18 to 32 years ( M = 20.32, SD = 2.43). The data were collected using a demographic information form and six self-report scales. In addition to descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Bootstrap Analysis were used to analyze the data. The results indicated that optimism, self-compassion, altruism, and gratitude significantly mediated the relationship between cognitive distortions and forgiveness of self ( b = −.109, %95 BCA CI [−.133 to −.086]), others ( b = −.096, %95 BCA CI [−.117 to −.076]), and situations ( b = −.099, %95 BCA CI [−.117 to −.082]). Self-compassion ( K2 = −.14) was found to be the strongest mediator in the self-forgiveness model, followed by altruism ( K2 = −.19) in the forgiveness of others model, and optimism ( K2 = −.27) in the forgiveness of situations model. The study highlights the potential use of positive psychology concepts such as optimism, self-compassion, altruism, and gratitude to reduce the negative effect of cognitive distortions on emerging adults' forgiveness and to enhance their forgiveness skills.
