Tóm tắt

Mặc dù có sự chú ý ngày càng tăng đến việc nghiên cứu sự tha thứ, nhưng mối liên hệ giữa việc tha thứ những tổn thương giữa các cá nhân trong thực tế và sức khỏe tâm lý vẫn chưa được xem xét. Với mẫu nghiên cứu gồm 456 người trưởng thành Tây Ban Nha (độ tuổi từ 18–80 tuổi), mục tiêu của nghiên cứu này là: (1) xem xét liệu các biến liên quan đến sự đánh giá của nạn nhân về một hành vi cụ thể (thời gian đã trôi qua, tần suất, mức độ nghiêm trọng, ý định được nhận thức) và niềm tin của họ về bản chất của sự tha thứ (có điều kiện hoặc vô điều kiện) có liên quan đến sự tha thứ giữa các cá nhân hay không; (2) liệu sự tha thứ có đóng vai trò trung gian giữa cách mà nạn nhân đánh giá một hành vi và mức độ sức khỏe tâm lý của họ (PWB), và giữa niềm tin của họ về bản chất của sự tha thứ và mức độ PWB của họ; (3) vai trò của hai thành phần khác nhau của sự tha thứ (Sự Vắng Mặt Cảm Xúc Tiêu Cực và Sự Hiện Diện Cảm Xúc Tích Cực và suy nghĩ về tổn thương—“negF” và “posF”, tương ứng) có thể đóng góp vào các mối quan hệ này. Chúng tôi phát hiện rằng những người trưởng thành tha thứ cho người khác có xu hướng cảm thấy sức khỏe tâm lý tốt hơn so với những người ít sẵn lòng tha thứ cho các hành vi sai trái. Tần suất hành vi, mức độ nghiêm trọng được nhận thức và ý định được nhận thức có liên quan đến sự tha thứ ít hơn. Sự tha thứ đã trung gian mối quan hệ giữa việc đánh giá của nạn nhân về hành vi và mức độ PWB của họ, cụ thể qua negF (tức là khả năng của nạn nhân trong việc để lại những suy nghĩ và cảm xúc tiêu cực liên quan đến hành vi vi phạm). Cuối cùng, niềm tin rằng sự tha thứ là vô điều kiện hay có điều kiện có những mối quan hệ khác nhau không chỉ với sự tha thứ mà còn với PWB của nạn nhân.
