The sample consisted of 376 (196 female, 180 male) university students. The Turkish version of Heartland Forgiveness Scale (Bugay &Demir, 2010) and The Features of Transgression Questionnaire were used to collect the data. In order to test the predictability of the features of transgression, multiple regression and stepwise regression analysis were used. The results revealed that the features of transgression were important in forgiving others. Results of the multiple regression showed that the features of transgression significantly predicted forgiveness of others and accounted for 10% of the variance. Stepwise regression analysis showed that “responsibility”, “the outcomes of transgression” and “transgression whom it was made” were significant predictors of forgiveness of others. The findings were discussed in comparison to those of existing literature.}, number={35}, publisher={Turkish Psychological Counseling and Guidance Association}
