Abstract

This study was aimed to identify the moderating effects of cognitive emotional regulation on the between Trauma related emotions and situation-specific forgiveness. The participants were 135 adults(to meet the diagnostic criteria for Complex PTSD) aged over 18. Collected data from the adults were analyzed with various types of methods including descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. As a result, trauma related emotions had a negative relation with situation-specific forgiveness. At the same time, adaptive emotion regulation lacked any relation with situation-specific forgiveness and maladaptive emotion regulation(except self-blame) had a negative relation with situation-specific forgiveness. The result from multiple analyses suggested that adaptive emotion regulation refocuses on planning and acceptance moderated between trauma related emotions and situation-specific forgiveness. In addition, acceptance moderated between betrayal (fear, alienation) and situation-specific forgiveness, adaptive emotion regulation, refocuses on planning, acceptance and self-blame moderated between anger and situation-specific forgiveness. Also, adaptive emotion regulation creates positive refocusing and positive reappraisal moderated between shame and situation-specific forgiveness. This study was demonstrated as a role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies as a moderator against trauma related emotions leading forgiveness, which implies that the intervention of emotion regulation strategies should be changes according to trauma related emotions level in counseling sessions. Limitations of the results and suggestions for future research wasdiscussed.
