“…This is called interpersonal mindfulness when an individual is present in the moment throughout his communication with another person (Pratscher et al, 2018). There are some studies in the literature reporting that forgiveness facilitates and improves interpersonal relationships (Alpay, 2009;Ayten, 2009;Johns et al, 2015;Kadiangandu et al, 2007;Worthington, 1998); there is a significant positive correlation between forgiveness and mindfulness (Braun et al, 2020;Eyring et al, 2021;Foulk et al, 2017;Johns et al, 2015;Orcutt et al, 2005;Roberts et al, 2021;Webb et al, 2013;Zümbül, 2019) and mindfulness predicts forgiveness (Fuente-Anuncibay et al, 2021;Lewis, 2017;Pizarro-Ruiz et al, 2021).…”

The purpose of the research was to discover whether self compassion and interpersonal mindfulness predict forgiveness in adulthood. In this study, data were gathered from 547 participants, 345 of whom were female (x̄=80.72, sd=16.51) and 202 of whom were male (x̄=81.60, sd=17.33) and between the ages of 22 and 65. “Personal Information Form”, “Heartland Forgiveness Scale”, “Self Compassion Scale”, and “Interpersonal Mindfulness Scale” are the measuring instruments. Multiple regression analysis was conducted on the data. According to a multivariate regression analysis, self compassion and interpersonal mindfulness are predictors of forgiveness. In addition, regression analysis revealed that self compassion and interpersonal mindfulness accounted for 39% of the overall variance in adult forgiveness. In light of the literature and study, the findings are interpreted and defended, and numerous recommendations are provided.

“…Following mindfulness-based interventions, individuals more often "relate mindfully" than before (e.g., being responsive to others and aware of automatic reactions; Bihari & Mullan, 2014, p. 56). Compared to nonparticipants, participants showed more empathy, positive mood, and attitudes toward forgiveness (Block-Lerner et al, 2007;Roberts et al, 2021). Mindful individuals better manage negative emotions, communicate better, experience fewer physiological impacts from partner's negative behaviors, and demonstrate commitment, respect, and support, even in distressed environments (Barnes et al, 2007;Laurent et al, 2016;Wachs & Cordova, 2007).…”

“…As a foundation for ethical responsiveness, mindfulness may improve relationships by encouraging important relational processes (Pratscher et al, 2018). For example, mindfulness is positively correlated with interpersonal skills and behaviors, which are related to positive relational outcomes, including good communication (Burgoon et al, 2000), identification and description of feelings (Dekeyser et al, 2008), empathy (Dekeyser et al, 2008), forgiveness (Roberts et al, 2021), use of more adaptive styles and less maladaptive humor styles (Khramtsova & Chuykova, 2016), and positive conflict resolution strategies (Gesell et al, 2020).…”

Despite the increasing popularity of mindfulness and research concerning its role in relationships, there is limited strongly relational theoretical discussion explaining the role of mindfulness in intimate couple relationships. In this article, we articulate a strongly relational view of the role of mindfulness in couple relationships. We then empirically test theoretically relevant associations using dyadic data (N = 514 heterosexual couples) from couples in the U.S. and Canada. In Study 1, we evaluated a model with male and female mindfulness predicting couple relational-connectivity (a sense of friendship, intimacy, and belonging) through couple responsible actions (behaviors intentionally enacted to strengthen couple connection), which indicated a fully mediated effect; the influence of male and female mindfulness on couple relational-connectivity was fully accounted for by associations with couple responsible actions (indirect standardized betas of .08). With a subsample of 120 of these couples, in Study 2 we used a daily diary design to explore how mindfulness was associated with ethical responsiveness (a tendency to respond benevolently to a perceived need), responsible actions, and relational-connectivity at the within-person level. Study 1 results were reinforced, showing stronger associations in these within-person analyses (indirect standardized betas of .21 and .23). In conceptualizing individual mindfulness and ethical responsiveness as dimensions of a more relational form of mindfulness, one way by which mindfulness may influence couples’ relational-connectivity is through its influence on responsible actions. These results provide initial support for using a strongly relational paradigm to understand the role of mindfulness in intimate couple relationships.

The Present study aimed to investigate contribution of emotional empathy and cognitive in predicting marital forgiveness among married couples. A sample consists of 100 husbands and their wives (50 husbands, 50 wives), the ages of husbands ranged between (25-46) years, while the ages of wives between (25-43) years. The participant completed Marital Forgiveness Scale and Marital Empathy Scale. The statistical analysis revealed a positive relationship between the two components of empathy and marital forgiveness and its components among husbands and wives. The result also showed the contribution of emotional and cognitive empathy in predicting marital forgiveness and its component among husbands and wives. Cognitive empathy was more predictive of marital forgiveness among husbands while emotional empathy was more predictive of marital forgiveness among wives.
