Forgiveness

ABSTRACT

​
DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN FORGIVENESS OF SELF AND OTHERS

Name: Glasener (Kuhlman), Dawn E.
University of Dayton 2002
Advisor: Dr. Mark Rye

This study examined the relationship between self-forgiveness, forgiveness of others, and mental health. It also explored how self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others differ. Participants (N = 108) were recruited from a medium-sized Midwestern Catholic university. Participants answered self-report questionnaires concerning forgiveness of self and others, dispositional predictor variables (guilt, shame, religiousness, self-consciousness), and mental health (anger, depression, self-esteem). As hypothesized, self-forgiveness was negatively related to depression and self-consciousness and positively related to self-esteem. Forgiveness of others was negatively related to state anger, trait anger, and depression. Both self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others contributed uniquely to the prediction of depression. Furthermore, guilt and shame were negatively correlated with both self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others. However, guilt contributed uniquely to the prediction of both self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others, whereas shame uniquely predicted only dispositional self-forgiveness. Contrary to hypotheses, religious orientation was not related to any of the forgiveness measures. Study limitations are discussed.
