Dear fellow researchers, I am Edita. I am currently conducting a longitudinal international research and collaborating with other researchers about forgiveness.The goal of this research is to better describe distinctive presentations of forgiveness in various cultures, contributing to greater understanding of what it means to forgive. Part of the research involves these instruments: "Cultural Motives for Transgression Resolution" (39 items) and "Intergroup Forgiveness" (was created by Noor, Brown, & Prentice, 2008). My questions are do you know the reference and how do you score and interpret the "Cultural Motives for Transgression Resolution" scale? In addition, how do you score and interpret the Intergroup Forgiveness scale (e.g. any total score)?
Please kindly share it with me if you know about it! Thank you in advance!
Edita Kristofora I am not sure if you are asking about one of these references:
Noor, M., Brown, J. R., & Prentice, G. (in press). Prospects for intergroup reconciliation: social psychological predictors of intergroup forgiveness and reparation in Northern Ireland and Chile. In A. Nadler, T. Malloy & J. D. Fisher (Eds.), Social Psychology of Inter-group Reconciliation: From violent conflict to peaceful co-existence- going beyond victimization, guilt and distrust. Oxford: Oxford University Press.
Noor, M., Brown, J. R., Gonzalez, R., Manzi, J. & Lewis, C. (2007). On positive psychological outcomes; what helps groups with a history of conflict to forgive and reconcile with each other? (Manuscript submitted for publication).
Please check the toolbox prepared by Dr. Masi: http://theforgivenesstoolbox.com/
Other, possibly more familiar scales of intergroup forgiveness that I have seen are the ones that were adapted from interpersonal forgiveness( i.e., Takaku, Weiner & Ohbuchi’s, 2001), and community forgiveness (i.e., McCullough et al., 1998).
Best wishes,
Gulnaz
