Abstract

The current study aimed to establish how forgiveness contributes to the abusive relationship sustaining in the dating violence relationship. The investment model was commonly used by many studies to explain the maintenance dating violence relationships. This study strengthens the explanation by using a forgiveness variable. A sample 210 of female university students conducted the Conflict Tactics Scales(CTS), Investment Model Scale(IMS), Altuistic Delusion Scale(ADS), Enright Forgiveness Inventory(EFI), Intent to Return Questionnaire. After that, the data of 133 who experienced dating violence were analyzed. The result of regression analysis revealed that the Investment model variables was associated with the commitment variable, and the forgiveness partially mediated connection between commitment and Intent to Return. The results mean that because of the satisfaction, investment to the partner, quality of alternatives, and commitment, female victims forgive the offensive partner, and consequently, dating violence relationship was sustained. This results suggests the forgiveness can effect maladaptively to the maintenance of abusive situation. And the future study for examining adaptive forgiveness of victims was suggested.
