“…Even though forgiveness has been studied in post‐conflict societies such as Northern Ireland (e.g., Hewstone et al, 2004, 2006; Leonard et al, 2015; McGlynn et al, 2004; McLernon et al, 2002; Noor, Brown, Gonzalez, et al, 2008; Noor, Brown, & Prentice, 2008), Bosnia and Herzegovina (e.g., Cehajic et al, 2008; Odak & Čehajic‐Clancy, 2021; Rupar & Graf, 2019) and Cyprus (Stathi et al, 2017), the role of conflict narratives in people's willingness to forgive the outgroup has not been studied in such societies. In these contexts, we expect that endorsing one's own group's conflict narrative is likely to negatively predict willingness to forgive the outgroup members.…”
