“…However, we also contend that the need for retributive justice should not be equated with the need for empowerment, because the former refers distinctively to the desire to punish perpetrators through institutional mechanisms. While other conflict‐resolution mechanisms such as acknowledgment of victimhood and self‐ and group‐affirmation can be effective in empowering victims and increasing their conciliatory attitudes (e.g., Čehajić, et al, ; Hameiri & Nadler, ; Vollhardt, Mazur, & Lemahieu, ), they may be inadequate in realizing reconciliation in its full scope if victims' specific needs for justice are not properly addressed (Li, Rovenpor, & Leidner, ). In the aftermath of large‐scale, institutionalized violence, formal justice mechanisms signal structural transformations, as well as the reconfiguration of previously unequal or abusive power relations between victim and perpetrator groups (e.g., Li, et al, ).…”

Four experiments examined people's responses to intergroup violence either committed or suffered by their own group. Experiment 1 demonstrated that Serbs who strongly glorified Serbia were more supportive of future violence against, and less willing to reconcile with, Bosniaks after reading about Serbian victimization by Bosniaks rather than Serbian transgressions against Bosniaks. Replicating these effects with Americans in the context of American–Iranian tensions, Experiment 2 further showed that demands for retributive justice explained why high glorifiers showed asymmetrical reactions to ingroup victimization vs. perpetration. Again in the Serb and the American context, respectively, Experiments 3 and 4 demonstrated that post‐conflict international criminal tribunals can help satisfy victim group members' desire for retributive justice, and thereby reduce their support for future violence and increase their willingness to reconcile with the perpetrator group. The role of retributive justice and the use of international criminal justice in intergroup conflict (reduction) are discussed.

“…Past memories shape the emotional experience of DV victims and when memories are consciously accessed by victims which will cause temperamental behavior or other kinds of behaviors (Ehlers & Clark, 2000). Similarly, the research of Li, Rovenpor, and Leidner (2016), revealed that emotional experiences are the main causes of anger for victims of personal violence. These emotions often cannot be controlled by individual.…”

Dating violence (DV) has psychological impacts on the victims such as depression, trauma, anxiety, decreased self-esteem and feeling of resentment. This article aims to rediscuss the process of reconciliation and its relationship to DV victims’ inner peace. The process of psychological reconciliation would help to set the victims free from the shackle of previous abusive dating relationship. Reconciliation is defined as being able to cultivate peace within oneself. Because the victims’ problem lied in the memory of abusive experiences conducted by the violent doer, one of the proposed effective techniques that can be used in psychological reconciliation is counseling for DV victims.

Societal reconciliation and the transition from trauma to peace are increasingly prominent themes in psychosocial studies. In Chile, 3 decades after a transition from a long dictatorship (1973)(1974)(1975)(1976)(1977)(1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984)(1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990) to restored democratic rule, the measurement of progress in reconciliation remains imprecise, despite a large body of testimony and other empirical evidence. This study explores the factor structure and measurement invariance of the Social Psychological Index for Transitional Political Reconciliation (SPITPR-5F) in a sample of 559 participants from Valparaíso, Chile. Exploratory factor analysis and multigroup confirmatory factor analysis was performed to test the invariance of the correlated 5-factor structure with respect to sex and age variables. The reconciliation index shows good levels of reliability (w ϭ .91), and results support a correlated 5-factor model of political reconciliation. Similarly, the fit index indicates the validity of the model and supports its strict invariance by gender but not by age. These results suggest that the SPITPR-5F is an evaluative five-factor measure of political reconciliation across the Chilean population. Public Significance StatementThis study offers a valid and reliable model to measure progress in political reconciliation. The proposed model includes the measurement of variables political tolerance, social cohesion, support for democracy and human rights, institutional trust, and respect for rule of law and due process. Together these 5 dimensions help to properly represent the concept of political reconciliation.
