Can be forgiveness increased?: Forgiveness Enrichment Group

Abstract

The aim of the current study was to investigate the efficacy of “Forgiveness Enrichment Group” on forgiveness level of Turkish university students. The subjects were 16 (8 treatment group, 8 non-treatment group) university students. A quasi-experimental design with a treatment and non-treatment group was used to investigate the effectiveness of the program. The Turkish version of Heartland Forgiveness Scale (Bugay & Demir, 2010a) used to determine forgiveness level of the subjects. “Forgiveness Enrichment Group” was introduced to treatment group subjects for 5 sessions. The sessions were held once a week and lasted 90 minutes. Non-treatment group received no application at all. Nonparametric methods were used in the analysis of data in this study. The main finding of the study was that treatment group gain scores were significantly higher level of self-forgiveness than non-treatment group. Furthermore, significant increases were observed in the posttest others’ forgiveness and total forgiveness scores of participants who received “Forgiveness Enrichment Group”. It would be recommended to extend the reach of Forgiveness Enrichment Group among university students on given findings of the current study.
