Forgiveness has been linked to better psychological, emotional, and physiological functioning, whereas the failure to forgive has been linked to increased risk for psychopathology and impairments to physiological functioning. This application proposes a five-year program of research to investigate the potentially beneficial effects of forgiveness for reducing risk for psychopathology, improving psychological well-being, reducing alcohol-related problems, reducing anger and stress-related physiological arousal, and improving cognitive performance. To encourage forgiveness among recent victims of interpersonal transgressions, we will develop and evaluate a laboratory-based "benefit-finding" induction. Benefit-finding after adversity is very common and fosters resilience after traumatic life events. Thus, benefit-finding may help people forgive and thereby overcome the negative psychological, emotional, physiological, and cognitive effects of not forgiving. Also, the proposed project extends previous efforts to explore forgiveness as a change process using recent statistical advances. The proposed project has five specific aims: (1) to examine the link between benefit-finding and forgiveness experimentally; (2) to identify variables based on Equity Theory that moderate the effect of benefit-finding on forgiveness; (3) to better understand forgiveness as a change process using growth mixture modeling; (4) To determine whether forgiveness reduces risk for negative outcomes in the domains of psychopathology and psychological well-being; alcohol use; emotion, physiology; and cognitive performance; and (5) to determine whether forgiveness mediates the relationship between a benefit-finding induction and the outcomes listed above. In addition, the research will develop a technique?thinking and writing about possible personal benefits associated with a transgression one has suffered?that may have future clinical applications for reducing the burden of psychopathology and for reducing problems related to alcohol use, anger, stress-related physiological arousal, and cognitive performance.

宽恕与更好的心理、情感和生理功能有关，而不宽恕则与精神病理学和生理功能障碍的风险增加有关。该申请提出了一项为期五年的研究计划，以调查宽恕对降低精神病理学风险，改善心理健康，减少酒精相关问题，减少愤怒和压力相关的生理唤醒以及改善认知表现的潜在有益影响。为了鼓励最近的人际越轨行为的受害者宽恕，我们将 开发和评估基于实验室的“获益发现”诱导。在逆境后寻找利益是非常常见的，并在创伤性生活事件后培养复原力。因此，利益发现可以帮助人们原谅，从而克服不原谅的负面心理，情感，生理和认知影响。 此外，拟议的项目扩展了以前的努力，探索宽恕作为一个变化的过程中使用最新的统计进展。该项目有五个具体目标：（1）通过实验研究发现利益与宽恕之间的联系;（2）基于公平理论确定调节发现利益对宽恕影响的变量;（3）使用增长混合模型更好地理解宽恕作为一个变化过程;（4）确定宽恕是否会降低精神病理学和心理健康领域的负面结果风险;酒精使用;情绪，生理学;和认知表现;（5）确定宽恕是否调解了利益发现之间的关系 归纳和上面列出的结果。此外，该研究将开发一种技术？思考和写作与一个人所遭受的违法行为有关的可能的个人利益？这可能具有未来的临床应用，用于减轻精神病理学的负担，并用于减少与酒精使用、愤怒、压力相关的生理唤醒和认知表现相关的问题。
