In a sample of 95 urban Colombian mid-adolescents, this mixed-method study examined how youths' retaliatory desires and actions were juxtaposed with forgiveness and nonforgiveness in their narrative accounts of peer conflict. Quantitative analyses examined how retaliatory desire and action were associated with variations in youths' lifetime exposure to violence (ETV) and recent victimization by peers at school. These measures of violence exposure were related to revenge only in the context of unforgiven harms. Qualitative analyses explored aspects of youths' narrative accounts that may underlie the observed associations. Overall, findings suggest that ETV may interfere with youths' capacity to reflect on revenge in ways that recognize their own fallibility and thus open the door to forgiveness.
在一个由95名哥伦比亚城市青少年组成的样本中，这项混合方法研究考察了在青少年关于同伴冲突的叙述中，他们的报复欲望和行为是如何与宽恕和不宽恕并列的。定量分析考察了报复欲望和行为如何与青少年一生遭受暴力暴露（ETV）的差异以及近期在学校遭受同伴侵害的情况相关联。这些暴力暴露指标仅在未被宽恕的伤害背景下与报复有关。定性分析探讨了青少年叙述中可能是所观察到的关联背后原因的一些方面。总体而言，研究结果表明，一生遭受暴力暴露可能会干扰青少年反思报复的能力，使他们认识到自己的易犯错性，从而为宽恕打开大门。
