“…There is thus empirical evidence for the construct validity of the Turkish version of these questionnaires. The good fit of the three-factor model of forgivingness in the Turkish sample had, however, to be contrasted with the bad fit of this model in a Lebanese sample previously reported by Mullet and Azar (2009). In their study, a specific apologies factor was present in the ternary structure, in addition to the unconditional forgiveness factor and a modified lasting resentment factor.…”

The study examined the validity of the Turkish versions of three forgiveness-related questionnaires: the Conceptualizations of Forgiveness Questionnaire, the Forgivingness Questionnaire, and the Disposition to Seek Forgiveness Questionnaire. These questionnaires were translated from English to Turkish. The study also compared Turkish and French participants' scores on these scales. The sample comprised 252 students living in Turkey and 216 students living in France. The four-factor model of conceptualization of forgiveness, the three-factor model of forgivingness, and the three-factor model of disposition to seek forgiveness were shown to hold in a Turkish sample of students. The associations observed in previous studies between several subscales of these questionnaires were also found in the Turkish sample, thus providing additional evidence of the construct validity of the Turkish versions. Finally, it was shown that (a) the unconditional forgiveness and unconditional seeking of forgiveness mean scores were lower among the Turkish participants than among the French participants, and (b) the sensitivity to circumstances scores were higher among the Turkish participants than among the French participants.

“…Given the extensive Sunni-Shi'a conflict in Iraq, this finding is quite surprising. Some forgiveness researchers (e.g., Mullet & Azar, 2009) have discussed the importance of acknowledgement of the offense especially with Muslim populations. It may be that Saddam Hussein being deposed in 2003 and eventually executed and the dismantling of the Iraqi army (the two groups participants most commonly identified as being the source of their hurt), acted allowed Shi'a participants, in particular, to feel some sense of resolution and closure.…”

“…Previous research with Muslim populations found that Muslims were more inclined to be forgiving when an apology was offered (Mullet & Azar, 2009). It is possible that the reason why participants generally remained highly unforgiving of Iraqis, even more than 20 years after the invasion, was because there was little contrition from Iraq and never any formal apology.…”

This study examined the relationships of forgiveness, desire for revenge, adherence to Islam, depression, and psychological wellbeing among 220 Muslim Kuwaiti civilians who experienced the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and subsequent seven-month occupation. Participants completed the Enright Forgiveness Inventory (EFI), the Transgression-Related Interpersonal Motivations Inventory-18 (TRIM), the Displaced Aggression Questionnaire (DAQ), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and two sub-scales of Psychological Wellbeing (PSWB). An instrument of 13 items was designed to measure adherence of Islam and the degree to which Islam informs forgiveness attitudes. Results found support for the benefits of forgiveness in that interpersonal forgiveness (EFI) was negatively correlated with depression and revenge. Revenge was negatively correlated with depression and psychological wellbeing. Results also indicated that Islamic forgiveness attitudes moderated the relationship between Islamic devotional practices with

“…Here, we must pause for a moment to ask if the values that can be forgiven are those values that encourage individuals to engage in corrupt practices. But [20] found that Muslims are less forgiving than Christians. And by referring to the Corruption Perceptions Index, we can confirm that Muslim countries are the most corrupt than Christians.…”

Abstract-This research tests the role that religious beliefs, rituals and values plays on the corruption in Iraq. Furthermore, the research assesses ethical and moral ideals pertinent to religion, in the Iraqi educational sector. Correlation analysis and linear regression help assess the relations among the study's constructs and variables. The hypotheses tested by multiple regression technique with the help of SPSS software. Grounded in the data collected from 600 employees, the results affirm that religious beliefs have negative association with levels of corruption. Prayers in religious institution are influenced by the clergy, which serves as a set of life instructions to avoid corrupt practices. The generalizability of our results might be limited because we surveyed workers from a single sector; this calls for future studies to verify the stability of our findings across another sectors and firms.
