Abstract

The objective of this study was to explore how apologies can be used effectively for prevention and treatment of school-based violence among middle and high school students. More specifically, the study examined the components of apology students wanted when they are hurt seriously by their friends and how those apology components were related to healing. Criterion variables of healing were anger reduction, forgiveness and relationship restoration. The study sample consisted of 680 middle and high school students. The measures included two harm scenarios, the Anger before Apology Scale, the Apology Components Scale, the Healing Scale, and the Korean Forgiveness Scale-Short Form. Results showed that participants’ evaluation of the significant components of an apology were as follows in descending order of their significance: taking responsibility, expressing remorse and empathy, offering compensation, promising forbearance, and a request for forgiveness. Exploratory factor analyses on the Apology Components Scale(ACS) suggested that the ACS had two factors. ‘Compensation Component’(CC) included only offering compensation and ‘Components except Compensation(’CEC) included four components. Also the students wanted more CEC than CC. Finally, the apology components were significantly correlated with all of criterion variables of healing. Closer examination on the factors related to the apology components showed that CEC had significant correlations with all criterion variables. However, CC had a significant correlation only with relationship restoration.
