Forgiveness Among Individuals:
Models and Theories of Forgiveness
These
research projects use new ways to look at an old problem: "How
does forgiveness work?"
"Introduction of
a New Model of Forgiveness: Measurement & Intervention"
C. R. Snyder, Ph.D., in the Department of Psychology at the
University of Kansas, proposes to test a basic "forgiveness-linkage"
model. This will demonstrate the psychometric properties and the
construct validity of this Forgiveness Scale. A three-year program
is designed to test the "forgiveness-linkage" model using college
students and non-students. The ability of the scale to predict life
outcomes as they relate to relationships, work, health, and aging
will also be explored.

"Forgiveness & Community: A Game of Theoretic Analysis"
David Haskell, Ph.D., at the University of the South, will use the
game theory to explore whether living in a community promotes forgiveness
among individuals within that community. He seeks to advance the
understanding of the conditions which promote the evolution of forgiveness.
