目的 探讨大学生人际宽恕(回避、报复和仁慈)的增长模型,以及反刍思维在人际宽恕及其发展过程中的影响作用。方法采用人际侵犯动机量表对在“一周内”遭受过冒犯行为的116名大学生的人际宽恕过程进行“每周一测”的5次跟踪测评,并使用反刍思维反应量表评估被试的反刍思维。结果 1回避和报复动机符合线性增长模型,而仁慈动机更符合曲线增长模型;2在控制了冒犯严重性、关系亲密性因素后,反刍思维对大学生人际宽恕各维度及其变化趋势具有显著预测作用。结论 研究结果揭示了将人际宽恕各维度区分对待的重要性,同时说明反刍思维对大学生人际宽恕的适应性心理过程具有阻碍作用。
Forgiveness is defined by pro-social changes for people's transgression-related interpersonal motivations toward a transgressor. When people forgive a transgressor, they become less motivated by revenge and avoidance and more motivated by benevolence toward the transgressor. Previous studies have found that forgiveness process needs time to achieve motivation change, however, the intra-individual changes of forgiveness is not conformity with the linear or curve until now. McCuUough et al. (2003) showed that a linear trend fit on the development of forgiveness, whereas Pronk et al. (2010) indicated that the forgiveness curve showed a curvilinear trend. Therefore, the growth model of forgiveness needs further studies to resolve this paradox. Meanwhile, the available evidences have shown that forgiveness are negatively associated with rumination, however, the evidence does not yield clear conclusions regarding the effects of rumination that as a personal characteristics on forgiveness process. Hence, the second objective was to study the effects of rumination on the intercepts and slopes change of interpersonal forgiveness. The Transgression-Related Interpersonal Motivations Inventory (TRIM) was used to assess the forgiveness. There were eighteen items to measure Revenge subscale, Avoidance subscale, and Benevolence subscale. Rumination was assessed with the Chinese version of Ruminative Response Scale (RRS). Participants were 116 undergraduates (M = 21.61, SD = 1.35), and 41.6% were male. We recruited undergraduates who had experienced a serious transgression within the past 7 days through undergraduate psychology courses. Qualified participants received preliminary questionnaires including TRIM and RRS. After returning these questionnaires, they were scheduled to complete up to five follow-up TRIM in the online every 1 weeks. We used HLM to test our hypotheses. We first examined how interpersonal forgiveness unfolded over time. The results showed that a linear model best fit our data on the
