Abstract

The present study explored whether religious variables have effects on situational forgiveness. Using a sample of 154 Christians, this study examined the relationship between religiousness,religious coping and situational forgiveness. All religious measures were correlated with situational forgiveness, but positive religious coping was not correlated with forgiveness variable. According to the result of the correlations, we tested the mediation. Since there was no correlation between intrinsic religiousness and negative religious coping, these two variable were excluded from mediation test. Result of testing mediation indicated that negative religious coping play the role of a mediator between extrinsic religiousness and situational forgiveness. These findings have important practical implications regarding the forgiveness-religion link for Christians, suggesting that the forgiveness intervention is needed to promote to forgive effectively. Also decreasing negative religious coping might be important in forgiveness in specific transgressions.
