The present study examined the practice of forgiveness in Nepal. A model relating collectivism and forgiveness was examined. Participants (N = 221) completed measures of collectivism, individualism, forgiveness, conciliatory behavior, and motivations for avoidance and revenge toward the offender. Collectivism was positively related to forgiveness. Forgiveness was strongly related to conciliatory behavior and motivations for avoidance and revenge toward the offender. Decisional forgiveness was a stronger predictor of motivations for revenge than was emotional forgiveness.
本研究考察了尼泊尔的宽恕实践。考察了一个与集体主义和宽恕相关的模型。参与者(N=221)完成了集体主义、个人主义、宽恕、和解行为以及对冒犯者回避和报复的动机的测量。集体主义与宽恕呈正相关。宽恕与和解行为以及对冒犯者回避和报复的动机密切相关。决策性宽恕比情感性宽恕更能预测报复的动机。
