- Abstract
- This article identifies the role of forgiveness in psychological adaptation among victims of dating violence. The roles of intra- and interpersonal forgiveness in predicting changes in negative affect, perceived control, and the intention to rennin in the relationship are examined. For this study, 43 women involved in a relationship characterized by dating violence were recruited. Participants were assigned to one of the following groups: intrapersonal forgiveness, interpersonal forgiveness, or waiting-list control. After participants recalled recent victimizing experiences, their initial levels of negative affect and forgiveness were measured. Then, participants listened to the instructions for either the intra- or interpersonal forgiveness condition. Finally, participants completed self-report measures assessing negative affect (PANAS), perceived control (AAQ), forgiveness (VAS), and intent to leave the abusive relationship. The analyses revealed that intra- and interpersonal forgiveness had differential effects on negative affect Specifically, intrapersonal forgiveness was more effective at reducing negative affect than was interpersonal forgiveness. Additionally, both intra- and interpersonal forgiveness influenced current levels of perceived control; however, neither affected perceptions of past control or the participants intention to leave the relationship.
