“…In addition, it has been argued that children and young adolescents' attitudes, along with their willingness to forgive, tend to be influenced more by external factors, norms, expected roles, and behaviours in groups/families (Ashy et al, 2010;Maio et al, 2008;Pehar et al, 2020). Therefore, the differences between the finding of this study and existing research could be attributed, at least partly, to the different cultural contexts within which this study was conducted.…”

The mental health benefits of forgiveness are well-established in the literature. The growing research on dispositional forgiveness in adolescence is indicative of the need to better understand its role in youth’s well-being. In order to examine dispositional forgiveness in adolescence, measures regarding Big 5 personality factors (individual level), family relationships, school climate (system level), and sociodemographic variables at an individual and system level were used. Participants were 1,378 adolescents attending junior and senior high schools located in the broader area of Attica, Greece, randomly selected. Younger age, lower levels of neuroticism, and higher levels of extraversion, agreeableness and quality communication with the mother predicted higher forgiveness of self. Higher levels of openness to experience, agreeableness, quality communication with the father, positive behavior, positive attitude, and lower levels of lack of respect in the school predicted higher forgiveness of others. Finally, lower levels of neuroticism, higher levels of extraversion, agreeableness, and positive behavior in the school predicted higher levels of forgiveness of situations. The findings highlight the important role of personality factors and indicate the significance of primary prevention interventions in the school community regarding school climate that could contribute to the promotion of dispositional forgiveness and well-being of adolescents.

“…If we had conducted the intervention with the persons scoring high on an ethnic distance scale (for example, in the most war-affected regions of post-conflict societies), the results might be different. A few studies (e.g., Pehar et al, 2020;Šiber, 2002;Svob et al, 2016) found that Serbs and Croats in Croatia have relatively high levels of ethnic distance from each other.…”

The article presents a pilot study based on intervention conducted in Croatia in 2022. Despite intensive peacebuilding efforts, ethnic tensions in post-conflict societies remain high, suggesting that current strategies may be missing critical components. This experiment integrated recent neurophysiological findings, particularly polyvagal theory, into peacebuilding intervention. The intervention involved a two-day seminar in Zagreb, where trauma-informed, body-based techniques were used to address post-war trauma. Participants learnt to recognise and manage trauma reactions by promoting their interoceptive awareness and a felt sense of safety. The seminar included both theoretical and experiential components, focusing on the impact of trauma on the autonomous nervous system and interpersonal dynamics. The study used an experimental design with intervention and control group to investigate the effects of the seminar. Measures included interoceptive awareness, autonomic reactivity, ethnic distance, perspective taking and mental well-being. The results showed that the participants in the intervention group showed significant improvements in interoceptive awareness, particularly in not worrying and emotional awareness subscales compared to the control group. However, ethnic distance scores did not decrease as expected, highlighting the complexity of changing deep-rooted attitudes. The study faced some challenges, including participant recruitment and the short duration of the intervention, which may have limited its effectiveness. Despite these limitations, the findings suggest that integrating trauma-informed approaches into peacebuilding efforts holds promise for improving interethnic relations. Future research should focus on longer interventions and diverse participant groups to better understand the potential of these methods in various contexts.
