The relationship between perceived partner responsiveness and forgiveness in married individuals: The mediating role of interpersonal emotion regulation

Summary/Abstract: It is argued that forgiveness is important in maintaining relationships; as individuals can sometimes encounter hurtful behaviors in close relationship experiences (McCullough; 2001). Hence; considering the importance of forgiveness in relationships; it is worthwile to investigate the factors that facilitate forgiveness and the mechanisms underlying these relationships. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between perceived partner responsiveness and for-giveness; and to explore the mediating roles of co-brooding and coreappraisal; which are inter-personal emotion regulation strategies; on this relationship among married individuals. The sam-ple of the study consisted of 187 married individuals ranging from 24 to 65 years in age. In the study; the online questionnaire battery was used to measure perceived partner responsiveness; interpersonal emotion regulation strategies; and forgiveness. The statistical analyses showed that there was a positive relationship between perceived partner responsiveness and forgiveness. In addition; there was a partial mediating role of co-reappraisal on this relationship. In line with these results; it is believed that focusing on perceived partner support and responsiveness; and on the development of emotion regulation skills in relationship contexts may be beneficial in for-giveness programs conducted with couples.
