The project makes a pioneering theoretical contribution by recognising that forgiveness possesses both altruistic and self-interested dimensions. This reconceptualisation will result in three main community benefits: [1] researchers and practitioners will be better able to predict when forgiveness is most beneficial and when it is psychologically costly; [2] forgiveness strategies and principles will be more appropriately and strategically applied across different social contexts; and [3] public understanding of what it really means to forgive will be enhanced, thereby increasing the extent to which forgiveness may be embraced in the population.

该项目作出了开创性的理论贡献，认识到宽恕具有利他和利己的层面。这种重新概念化将带来三个主要的社区利益：[1]研究人员和实践者将能够更好地预测何时宽恕最有益，何时宽恕在心理上代价高昂; [2]宽恕策略和原则将更恰当地和战略性地应用于不同的社会背景。[3]公众对宽恕的真正含义的理解将得到加强，从而提高宽恕在人群中的接受程度。
