“…Therefore, it can be stated that increasing awareness about the rumination is significant in terms of forgiveness of others process. Moreover, under the studies conducted by [11,33,6,73,42], a significant relationship in opposite way between forgiveness of others and rumination was found. In other words, the level of forgiveness of others increases when the level of rumination decreases.…”

The aim of the study is to investigate forgiveness levels of university students in terms of self-compassion, rumination and personality traits. A descriptive-correlational was used and self-administered questionnaires were conducted in this study. Participants of the study were 840 university students (460 females, 380 males) from different faculties of Pamukkale University chosen by random cluster sampling method. In this study, forgiveness was measured with Heartland Forgiveness Scale; self-compassion was measured with Self-compassion Scale; rumination was measured with Rumination about an Interpersonal Offense Scale, and personality traits were measured with Adjective Based Personality Scale. To examine the predictive power of self-compassion, rumination and personality traits on forgiveness, hierarchical regression analysis was used. According to the results of the study, among university students, self-compassion and extraversion are both significant predictors of self-forgiveness. And also, both of them predict self-forgiveness positively. However, rumination, neuroticism, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness of personality traits do not predict self-forgiveness. Also according to results, among university students, self-compassion, rumination and extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness are significant predictors of forgiveness of others. While self-compassion, extraversion and agreeableness predict forgiveness of others positively, rumination and conscientiousness predict negatively. Implications of these findings are discussed within the context of literature.

“…Trzebiński and Gruszecka (2012) documented the connection between basic hope and the tendency to forgive (negative with the tendency for revenge and positive with reconciliation with the offender). Furthermore, the results of studies relating to justice beliefs indicated that beliefs about justice promoted forgivingness (Lucas et al, 2010;Strelan, 2007). Due to beliefs in a meaningful and positive world, basic hope fulfils a regulatory function.…”

“…The just world belief is confidence that good things happen to good people, bad things happen to bad people. Researchers have tested association between the just world belief and forgiveness (Strelan, 2007;Lucas et al, 2010;Strelan & Sutton, 2011;Strelan & McKee, 2014). Their results have indicated that the just world belief is a predictor of forgivingness.…”

Abstract:The study examined the importance of cognitive (positive orientation, basic hope) (Thompson et al., 2005), TRIM (McCullough et al., 1998), P-Scale (Caprara et al., 2012), BHI-12 (Trzebiński & Zięba, 2003a), SUPIN (Polish version of PANAS;Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988), CECS (Watson & Greer, 1983). Results showed that dispositional forgiveness (general and positive) was associated with cognitive and emotional predictors, whereas episodic forgiveness primarily with certain emotional variables. In addition, the results indicated that emotional predictors merely participate in the process of reducing unforgiveness, whereas cognitive and emotional variables were shown to be necessary for full forgiveness.

“…Certainly, retributive justice is opposite to forgiveness (Strelan, Feather, & McKee, 2008). However, when the inclusive qualities of justice are emphasised-for example, social justice (Karremans & Van Lange, 2005); just world beliefs for the self (Strelan, 2007b;Strelan & Sutton, 2011); restorative justice (Strelan et al, 2008); and procedural and distributive justice for the self (Lucas, Young, Zhdanova, & Alexander, 2010)-individuals have been found to also endorse forgiveness. These studies suggest that when the goals of punishment are inclusive as opposed to retributive, differential relations with forgiveness may emerge.…”

Retributive and Inclusive Justice Goals and Forgiveness: The Influence of Motivational Values

2011

Who is more likely to forgive, given that justice is important and motivating for people? In this article, we argue that the relation between justice and forgiveness depends on the type of justice involved; specifically, the goals of justice, i.e. retributive versus inclusive. We also explored the influence of motivational values on justice goals and forgiveness. Using data from 178 undergraduate psychology students who responded to measures of retributive and inclusive justice attitudes, forgiveness attitudes and dispositions, and values, we found support for our hypotheses that retributive justice goals are negatively related to forgiving attitudes and dispositions; inclusive justice goals are positively related to forgiveness; and benevolence and power values play the dominant role in predicting forgiveness. The results have implications for how the relation between justice and forgiveness is conceptualised and applied.
