The present study explores the possible mediating role of rumination in the relationship between forgiveness and interpersonal mindfulness or differentiation of self in romantic relationships. A total of 662 young adults participated in the study. The mediating role of rumination was tested using both Structural Equation Modeling and the Sobel Test. Results revealed that forgiveness showed a significant positive correlation with both differentiation of self and interpersonal mindfulness, whereas it correlated negatively with rumination. It was found that differentiation of self, interpersonal mindfulness, and rumination significantly predicted forgiveness. Differentiation of self and interpersonal mindfulness were also significant predictors of rumination. Moreover, results yielded partial mediation of rumination regarding the relationships between differentiation of self-forgiveness and interpersonal mindfulness-forgiveness. The results of the present study were discussed in the light of the literature, and suggestions were made for future studies. It was considered that the findings of the present study would be beneficial for the experts of both individual psychotherapy and family-couple therapy to determine the dynamics that they need to focus on/prioritize in the process of case assessment, formulation, and psychotherapy while working on interpersonal relationships, specifically romantic relationships. Regarding preventive mental health services, practices that increase interpersonal mindfulness and support the differentiation of self would promote individual well-being and strengthen interpersonal relationships.

Romantik İlişkilerde Kişilerarası Bilinçli Farkındalık ve Benlik Farklılaşması ile Affedicilik Arasındaki İlişkide Ruminasyonun Aracı Rolü

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı romantik ilişki bağlamında, kişilerarası bilinçli farkındalık ve benlik farklılaşması ile affedicilik arasındaki ilişkide ruminasyonun olası aracılık rolünün incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya toplam 662 genç yetişkin birey katılmıştır. Ruminasyonun aracılık rolü hem Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli hem de Sobel Test ile test edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre affedicilik, benlik farklılaşması ve kişilerarası bilinçli farkındalık ile pozitif, ruminasyon ile ise negatif korelasyon göstermiştir. Benlik farklılaşması, kişilerarası bilinçli farkındalık ve ruminasyonun affediciliği; benlik farklılaşması ve kişilerarası bilinçli farkındalığın da ruminasyonu anlamlı olarak yordadığı görülmüştür. Elde edilen sonuçlar literatür bulguları ışığında tartışılmış ve gelecek çalışmalar için önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarının, hem bireysel terapi hem de çift-aile terapisi uzmanlarının kişilerarası ilişkiler, özellikle de romantik ilişkiler üzerine çalışırken, vaka formülasyonu ve psikoterapi sürecinde hangi dinamikleri önceliklendirmeleri gerektiğini tespit etmelerine yardımcı olabileceği düşünülmüştür. Koruyucu ruh sağlığı hizmetleri kapsamında kişilerarası bilinçli farkındalığı arttıran ve benlik farklılaşmasını destekleyen uygulamalar hem kişisel iyi oluşu hem de kişilerarası ilişkileri güçlendirecektir.
