人际宽恕是在一个双因素动机系统的背景下概念化的，该系统控制着人们对人际冒犯的反应。进行了四项研究，以检查宽恕的程度可以预测与关系水平的变量，如满意度，承诺，和亲密度;进攻水平的变量，如道歉和进攻的影响;和社会认知变量，如进攻者为中心的同情和沉思的进攻。还描述了发展的违规相关的人际动机清单，自我报告的措施，旨在评估的2个组成部分的动机系统（避免和报复）假设为基础原谅。该措施表现出各种理想的心理测量特性，赞扬其用于未来的研究。正如预测的那样，同情、道歉、沉思和关系亲密度的几个指数与自我报告的宽恕有关。
Interpersonal forgiving was conceptualized in the context of a 2-factor motivational system that governs people's responses to interpersonal offenses. Four studies were conducted to examine the extent to which forgiving could be predicted with relationship-level variables such as satisfaction, commitment, and closeness; offense-level variables such as apology and impact of the offense; and social-cognitive variables such as offender-focused empathy and rumination about the offense. Also described is the development of the transgression-relate interpersonal motivations inventory-a self-report measure designed to assess the 2-component motivational system (Avoidance and Revenge) posited to underlie forgiving. The measure demonstrated a variety of desirable psychometric properties, commending its use for future research. As predicted, empathy, apology, rumination, and several indexes of relationship closeness were associated with self-reported forgiving.
