“…We chose the revenge and avoidance subscales of the TRIM to assess the UFM's convergent validity because they are the most commonly used measures of unforgiveness in the literature. We did not include the TRIM benevolence subscale in these analyses however, because it is not used in the literature as an unforgiveness measure (e.g., Carmody & Gordon, ; Fatfouta et al ., ). If we included benevolence, it would render our results non‐comparable with existing research and also mean we are measuring unforgiveness as forgiveness.…”

“…For example, Witvliet et al (2001) studied the relationship between unforgiveness and health by asking participants to focus on their unforgiving feelings and emotions. A small body of work has also explored the outcomes (Witvliet et al, 2001) or antecedents (Carmody & Gordon, 2011;Fatfouta, Gerlach, Schr€ oder-Ab e, & Merkl, 2015;Ingersoll-Dayton et al, 2010;Kira et al, 2009) of unforgiveness. Again, however, this body of work has presumed that the aforementioned affect-based definition encompasses the full richness of the experience of unforgiveness.…”

“…Not surprisingly, the lack of clarity surrounding how to conceptualize unforgiveness has resulted in several different approaches to its measurement. The most common approach employs scores on the revenge and avoidance subscales of the Transgression-Related Interpersonal Motivations Scale (TRIM; McCullough et al, 1998) as proxies for unforgiveness (e.g., Exline, Baumeister, Bushman, Campbell, & Finkel, 2004;Fatfouta et al, 2015). Another approach treats grudge holding and hurt as proxies for unforgiveness (e.g., Seawell et al, 2014;Witvliet et al, 2001).…”

This research presents a multidimensional conceptualization of unforgiveness and the development and validation of the unforgiveness measure (UFM). The scale was developed based on a qualitative study of people's experiences of unforgiven interpersonal offences (Study 1). Three dimensions of unforgiveness emerged (Study 2): emotional-ruminative unforgiveness, cognitive-evaluative unforgiveness, and offender reconstrual. We supported the scale's factor structure, reliability, and validity (Study 3). We also established the convergent and discriminant validity of the UFM with measures of negative affect, rumination, forgiveness, cognitive reappraisal, and emotional suppression (Study 4). Together, our results suggest that the UFM can capture variability in victims' unforgiving experiences in the aftermath of interpersonal transgressions. Implications for understanding the construct of unforgiveness and directions for future research are discussed.

“…It is negatively related to sympathizing with asylum seekers (Berndsen, Thomas, McGarty, Bliuc, & Hendres, ) and, due to the increased sense of realistic threat, also to non‐compliance with instructions to adopt the perspective of this group (Berndsen, Thomas, & Pedersen, ). Likewise, individual narcissism (e.g., Ang & Yusof, ), which mirrors the properties of collective narcissism (see Cichocka, , for a review) and positively correlates with it (e.g., Cichocka, Marchlewska, & Golec de Zavala, ), is negatively associated with empathy (Fatfouta, Gerlach, Schröder‐Abé, & Merkl, ; Hepper, Hart, Meek, Cisek, & Sedikides, ; Hepper, Hart, & Sedikides, ; Leunissen, Sedikides, & Wildschut, ; Wai & Tiliopoulos, ). Finally, collective narcissism correlated negatively with outgroup‐directed sympathy in an organizational setting (Antonetti & Maklan, ).…”

Too great to act in solidarity: The negative relationship between collective narcissism and solidarity‐based collective action

Three studies examined the association between narcissistic identification with one’s advantaged in‐group and engagement in solidarity‐based collective action. Drawing on theory and past research, a negative effect of collective narcissism on solidarity‐based collective action was expected. A two‐wave longitudinal study (N = 162) found that Polish participants’ narcissistic, but not secure, national identification decreased their willingness to engage in collective action in solidarity with refugees over time. A field study (N = 258) performed during a mass protest against a proposed abortion ban showed that men’s gender‐based collective narcissism was a negative predictor of solidarity‐based engagement (operationalized as protest behavior and collective action intentions) and this effect was mediated by lowered empathy for women. Finally, a web‐based survey (N = 1,992) revealed that heterosexual/cisgender individuals’ collective narcissism was negatively associated with collective action intentions in support of LGBT rights and that this effect was sequentially mediated by increased intergroup anxiety and decreased empathy for LGBT people. Theoretical implications of the present findings, research limitations, and future directions are discussed.

“…Personality is one of the most influential aspects of this. The properties of perfectionism and the narcissistic personality that then makes people to hesitate to behave this way (Furman, Luo, & Jr, 2017) & (Fatfouta, Gerlach, Schröder-abé, & Merkl, 2015). Those who arrogantly result in individuals not willing to forgive and refuse to behave prosocial (Fatfouta & Schröder-abé, 2017).…”

The friendship conflicts are associated with the emergence of hostile feelings between people who feel victimized by another person. This kind of conflict will damage the moral and relationship between them. One thing that can be done by humans to solve this problem is by forgiving. Forgiveness is not an easy thing to do, considering that the offended individual may have different reactions. This concept of forgiveness will be not only concerning on what happens in the heart, but also having a willingness to restart usual interaction and behavior. This study used a phenomenological approach which was aimed to identify the meaning and the process of forgiving. The result of investigating 3 subjects carried out three important things that must exist in the process of forgiving, i.e. basic personal values, understanding of offenders, and positive efforts. Basic personal values will be individual characteristics in solving conflicts regarding on the values of kindness, love, and humanity. Understanding of offender will increase our empathy toward the feelings of others. Meanwhile, the positive effort will be our main step that forgiving is not only saying sorry, but also having sincerity in the heart which is then shown with a willingness to reinitiate and interact with the person.
