In a sample composed of 147 undergraduates (age range 18 to 55 years; M = 22), we conducted an examination of the convergent and discriminant validity of self- and other-forgiveness in the Five-factor model of personality (FFM). Using multiple measures of each construct, principal components analysis (PCA) supported a 2-component model of forgiveness. Findings for the PCA and external correlates with the FFM provided evidence for a largely orthogonal relationship between self- and other-forgiveness. Specifically, self-forgiveness was negatively related to Neuroticism and unrelated to Agreeableness, whereas other-forgiveness was unrelated to Neuroticism and positively related to Agreeableness. Overlap between the constructs was found in which both self- and other-forgiveness were negatively related to the hostility facet of Neuroticism and the order facet from Conscientiousness and positively related to the warmth and positive emotions facet scales from the Extraversion domain of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1992). Overall, these findings suggest that self- and other-forgiveness, although seemingly similar, carry very different motivational underpinnings.
在一个由147名本科生组成的样本中（年龄范围为18至55岁；M = 22），我们对人格五因素模型（FFM）中自我宽恕和他人宽恕的聚合效度和区分效度进行了检验。使用每个构念的多种测量方法，主成分分析（PCA）支持了一个双成分宽恕模型。PCA的结果以及与FFM的外部相关性为自我宽恕和他人宽恕之间基本上呈正交关系提供了证据。具体而言，自我宽恕与神经质呈负相关，与宜人性无关，而他人宽恕与神经质无关，与宜人性呈正相关。在这些构念之间发现了重叠之处，即自我宽恕和他人宽恕均与神经质的敌对性方面以及尽责性的条理性方面呈负相关，与修订版大五人格量表（Costa & McCrae，1992）外向性领域的热情和积极情绪方面量表呈正相关。总体而言，这些发现表明，自我宽恕和他人宽恕虽然看似相似，但其背后的动机基础却大不相同。
