| The study explored the factorial structure of forgivingness in an Indonesian sample, compared Indonesian and French students’ forgivingness scores, and assessed the relationship between forgivingness and emotional regulation among Indonesian participants. The same three-factor structure (lasting resentment, sensitivity to circumstances and willingness to forgive) that was evidenced in European samples was evidenced in the Indonesian sample. Sensitivity to circumstances and willingness to forgive scores were higher, and lasting resentment scores lower, among Indonesian students than among French students. Lasting resentment was negatively associated with reappraisal, and sensitivity to circumstances was positively associated with both reappraisal and suppression. |
