Exploring the Associations Between Hexaco Personality Factors and the Perceptions of Self, Victim, and Divine Forgiveness: Do Hexaco Personality Factors Uniquely Explain Different Types of Forgiveness
We are often encouraged to seek and grant forgiveness because it transcends into the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and spiritual realms.

Forgiveness Education from an Aristotelian Realist Perspective: Can We Determine a Good Forgiveness Education Program
If there is no Essence of forgiveness that cuts across many religious and philosophical traditions, forgiveness psychology becomes a cultural product with no implications beyond our confined time and space. In this article, we discuss forgiveness as a moral virtue from an Aristotelian realist perspective. We first attempt to define the Essence of forgiveness that centers on beneficence that develops within and flows to others for their good. We a…
A divine connection: Exploring the role of divine forgiveness in self-forgiveness and self-hatred among Christian college students
When we violate a sense of justice, we feel guilty and ashamed, which may result in increases in self-hatred SH. Both divine forgiveness (DF) and self-forgiveness (SF) may alleviate such hatred toward the self. DF is especially an important concept for Christians. Therefore, we examined SH in relation to forgiveness in the context of one’s wrongdoing by recruiting participants from a Christian university. Findings supported the associations betwe…

The Interplay between Divine, Victim, and Self-forgiveness: The Relationship between Three Types of Forgiveness and Psychological Outcomes
It is conceivable that one’s level of self-forgiveness is likely to be influenced by the extent to which one feels forgiven by God. Also, self-forgiveness, especially when the self-offense involves wronging another, is likely to be influenced by the extent to which one feels forgiven by the victim. Therefore, this study was aimed at simultaneously examining the interplay between divine, victim, and self-forgiveness as well as their effects on psy…

Comparing Compassionate Love and Empathy as Predictors of Transgression-General and Transgression-Specific Forgiveness

A Theological and Psychological Defense of Self-Forgiveness: Implications for Counseling
In the burgeoning literature of forgiveness, self-forgiveness is an aspect that has not received as much attention as other areas of research on forgiveness. Self-forgiveness is important in dealing with negative feelings toward the self when one violates the conscience. However, because criticisms have emerged against this construct, we attempt a theological and psychological defense of self-forgiveness by addressing following four questions: (a…
