“…Total ATF scores range from 7 to 42, with higher scores reflecting a greater value of forgiveness. There have been several translations of the ATF into various languages, including Polish (Zarzycka, 2019), Chinese (Zheng et al, 2021), Urdu (Javed, Kausar, & Khan, 2014), and Russian (Kononova & Pugovkina, 2018).…”

Although numerous forgiveness measures have been developed, only a few are useful for assessing the value of forgiveness. This study examined the reliability and construct validity of the Japanese translation (ATF-J) of the six-item Attitudes Toward Forgiveness Scale to assess individuals' value of forgiveness. The participants were 234 Japanese college students (39.3% women; mean age = 20.85 years, SD = 1.27) who completed the questionnaire on two occasions separated by four weeks. The one-factor structure of the ATF-J was confirmed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's αs = .71 and .73) and test-retest reliability over a 4-week period (r = .61) were acceptable. Construct validity was supported by the expected correlations with scores for dispositional forgiveness of others, hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, psychological stress, trait empathy, and trait anger. However, contrary to expectations, no significant correlations were found between ATF-J scores and depression and anxiety symptom scores. Overall, these findings provide preliminary support for the reliability and construct validity of the ATF-J. Therefore, the ATF-J is a useful tool for assessing the value of forgiveness in the Japanese population.

“…В отечественной науке феномен прощения также в последние десятилетия обращает на себя внимание исследователей: прощение рассматривается в рамках социальной философии, где оно понимается как событие, дифференцирующее и конструирующее социальность [10], в психологии исследователи описывают феноменологию прощения, рассматривают возможности применения результатов исследования в психотерапевтической практике [5], в социальной психологии прощение рассматривается как феномен межличностного общения [11], в последнее время внимание уделяется также вопросу адаптации методик исследования прощения [4]. Наша работа направлена на развитие линии исследования прощения в отечественной школе, в первую очередь, в контексте адаптивного потенциала этого качества в процессе взаимодействия человека с миром.…”

Objectives. Investigate the individual’s ability to forgive concerning the characteristics of a friendly home environment. Background. The article continues the series of works devoted to the role of the home environment in the interpersonal interaction. Everyday communication involves the distribution of different resources; this process requires personal qualities that ensure a tolerant attitude to violations of justice. Study design. At the first stage of the study, psychometric examination of the Russian-language Heartland Forgiveness Scale was carried out; at the second stage, a correlation study established the relationship between the qualities of a friendly home and the ability of the inhabitants to forgive. Participants. Five hundred ninety students (M=18,7, SD=1,1, 477 females, and 113 males). Measurements. Multi-scale questionnaires: Home Environment Functionality, Home Environment Relevance, and Home Attachment. Results. The Russian version of Heartland Forgiveness Scale includes two sub-scales Readiness to forgive and Lack of ruminations and has good reliability. The results of the main study were gender-sensitive. In females, the characteristics of a friendly home are positively related to the ability to forgive, while in males, they are negatively related. The highest number of connections is formed by functionality of home; in males — also by the home attachment. Conclusions. Against males, home implements amplifying function, and concerning girls — is ennobling; to develop the ability to forgive the young men need separation from home. The contribution of the home environment to the development of the ability to forgive is determined by the context of human development: both forgiveness and non-forgiveness are adaptive phenomena that are important for solving social problems, the content of which is set by the respondents’ gender.

The present study was finished before the beginning of Russia’s invasion into Ukraine. The obtained results showed the high-level tolerance and peacefulness of participants, that revealed the essentiality of Ukrainian ethnos and corresponded with its mental identity. Regratably, we may predict, that the military offence, made by Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine, will cause the significant changes of human atitudes in forseable future not only among Ukrainians, but worldwide. The most peaceful nations will be forced to reconsider their attitudes towards forgiveness on behaf of their future and justice. Abstract.Our research aimed to clarify the prosocial nature of forgiveness by examining its relationship with other prosocial values, and explore the intercorrelations between an individual’s proneness to forgive and the dispositional factors such as emotional closeness to the target of forgiveness and the interpersonal strategy of behavior. In our study, we considered forgiveness a part of individual’s prosociality as, despite the motives underlying the process of making a decision to forgive, it resulted in prosocial activity and had psychologically positive outcomes for both partners. The participants (N = 70) were 41 females and 29 males in their middle adulthood (the mean age =41.3). To achieve the aim of the present research, we used the questionnaire “Diagnostics of Moral Orientations”, the Tendency to Forgive Scale and the “Diagnostics of interpersonal relationship”(an adapted and modified variant of Leary’s 128-item Interpersonal Check List ) One -way ANOVA confirmed the absence of significant differences between the age subgroups F (1,68) = 1.72 p>.05. Results have shown that people in their middle adulthood have proneness to based decisions about forgiving on their prosocial attitudes. The greatest unanimity was found in relation to the closest targets. The majority of respondents (80%) chose the highest rates of the scale (М = 4.3, SD = 0.87) to demonstrate prosocial tendencies towards relatives and friends. 58.6% of respondents pointed out that “it is very important to express it to this group of people”, Altogether, the results show that readiness to forgive does not depend on the subject’s age-related features, whereas emotional closeness is an important factor, which affects the proneness to forgive. More vivid tendency to forgive is demonstrated in the close social circle. However, people tend to express prosocial attitudes and readiness to forgive even towards their enemies. It was found that the general strategy of dominance did not demonstrate a strong connection with an individual’s proneness to forgive, whereas the general strategy of friendliness seemed to have a significant correlation with all dimensions of people’s tendency to forgive explored in the present research.
