This present study is aimed to find out the correlation between Javanese cultural values orientation, personality trait, and forgiveness among Javanese college students. We propose several hypothesis: (a) there would be a positive and significant correlation between Javanese cultural values orientation and forgiveness, (b) there would be a positive and significant correlation between agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, extraversion and forgiveness, (c) there would be a negative and significant correlation between neuroticism and forgiveness. A hundred students participated this study by filling out three questionnaires: forgiveness scale, cultural value orientation scale, and personality trait scale. Pearson correlation analysis shows that all hypothesis was accepted.Javanese college students encounter various life issues like students at large. A study by Nashori, Iskandar, Setiono, and Siswadi [11] mentions that Javanese who lives in Yogyakarta have low level of forgiveness (16.7%) and medium level of forgiveness (67.8%). As a part of Javanese society, the students live the principles of Javanese culture. Kuntari [12] states that Javanese culture teaches individual to recall the kindness of others and overlook their mistakes (in Javanese: mikul dhuwur mendhem jero) and able to give in for a better life at a later time (wani ngalah luhur wekasane). These principles inspire the Javanese college students in responding to life issues rationally.Forgiveness that individual demonstrates are influenced by several factors. One of them is cultural value. It is shown in Benedict's research [13] that culture can create pleasant and affectionate individuals. When the culture nurtures positive values, it creates positive attitudes among individuals who live in it. Accordingly, it includes forgiveness. Benedict's conclusion is based on an in-depth study in numerous Indian tribes in America, like Zuni, Arapesh, Dakota, and Eskimo.When it is adapted to the context of Javanese culture, it can be said that life values in the culture will encourage forgiveness among Javanese. The orientation of Javanese cultural values has three dimensions, namely self-orientation, religious orientation, and collective orientation [14]. Nurwianti and Oriza [15] mention that an ethnic can significantly demonstrate forgiveness since its values put emphasis on its relation with God. In this ethnic, a forgiving God inspires the devotees to be forgiving too.In addition, forgiveness is closely related to personality traits. McCullough [16] is the expert that highlights the relation between personality traits and forgiveness. The conclusion is strengthened with an empirical finding by Firdaus [17] which mentions that openness, agreeableness, and extraversion are positively correlated to forgiveness. Meanwhile, neuroticism and conscientiousness are negatively correlated to forgiveness. Thus, traits, like, openness, agreeableness, and extraversion, can be the predictors of forgiveness.Also, level of education contributes in forgiveness. Nashori,...
