It is argued that forgiveness is important in maintaining relationships, as individuals can sometimes encounter hurtful behaviors in close relationship experiences (McCullough, 2001). Hence, considering the importance of forgiveness in relationships, it is worthwhile to investigate the factors that facilitate forgiveness and the mechanisms underlying these relationships. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between perceived partner responsiveness and forgiveness, and to explore the mediating roles of co-brooding and co-reappraisal, which are interpersonal emotion regulation strategies, on this relationship among married individuals. The sample of the study consisted of 187 married individuals ranging from 24 to 65 years in age. In the study, the online questionnaire battery was used to measure perceived partner responsiveness, interpersonal emotion regulation strategies, and forgiveness. The statistical analyses showed that there was a positive relationship between perceived partner responsiveness and forgiveness. In addition, there was a partial mediating role of co-reappraisal on this relationship. In line with these results, it is believed that focusing on perceived partner support and responsiveness, and on the development of emotion regulation skills in relationship contexts may be beneficial in forgiveness programs conducted with couples.

Evli bireylerde algılanan partner duyarlılığı ve affetme ilişkisi: Kişilerarası duygu düzenlemenin aracı rolü

Öz

Yakın ilişki deneyimlerinde bireylerin, zaman zaman incitici davranışlarla karşılaşmaları sebebiyle, ilişkilerin devam etmesinde affetmenin önemli bir yere sahip olduğu tartışılmaktadır (McCullough, 2001). Affetmenin ilişkiler üzerindeki önemi değerlendirildiğinde, affetmeyi kolaylaştıran faktörlerin ve ilgili mekanizmaların araştırılmasının son derece değerli olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu doğrultuda bu çalışmanın amacı, algılanan partner duyarlılığı ve affetme arasındaki ilişkiyi ve bu ilişkide kişilerarası duygu düzenleme stratejilerinden olan birlikte kara kara düşünme ve birlikte yeniden değerlendirmenin aracı rolünü evli bireyler üzerinde incelemektir. Çalışmanın örneklemini yaşları 24-65 arasında değişen 187 evli birey oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada algılanan partner duyarlılığı, kişilerarası duygu düzenleme stratejileri ve affetmenin ölçülmesine yönelik çevrim içi ölçek bataryası kullanılmıştır. İstatiksel analizler algılanan partner duyarlılığı ve affetme arasında pozitif bir ilişki bulunduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca, bu ilişkide birlikte yeniden değerlendirmenin kısmi aracı rolü bulunmaktadır. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda, çiftlerle yürütülen affetme programlarında, algılanan partner desteği ve duyarlılığına, aynı zamanda ilişki bağlamında duygu düzenleme becerilerinin geliştirilmesine odaklanmanın faydalı olabileceği düşünülmektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler
