The purpose of this study was to examine forgiveness and sexual violence among college women. Undergraduate women (N = 503) completed an online survey assessing experiences of sexual violence and forgiveness. Simultaneous multivariate regressions revealed that experiencing more sexual violence was associated with more revenge and avoidance, and less benevolence. Furthermore, findings indicated that more experiences of sexual violence were negatively associated with forgiveness of self, forgiveness of others, and forgiveness of uncontrollable situations. This work begins to fill critical gaps in the extant literature because it is the only study to date that examines sexual violence and the positive psychological construct of forgiveness. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.
本研究的目的是调查大学女生中的宽恕与性暴力情况。本科女生（N = 503）完成了一项在线调查，评估性暴力经历和宽恕情况。同时进行的多元回归分析显示，经历更多性暴力与更多的报复和回避行为相关，而仁慈程度更低。此外，研究结果表明，更多的性暴力经历与自我宽恕、他人宽恕以及对无法控制情况的宽恕呈负相关。这项研究开始填补现有文献中的关键空白，因为它是迄今为止唯一一项研究性暴力与宽恕这一积极心理结构的研究。文中还讨论了对未来研究的启示和方向。
