| Resumo: | When we violate a sense of justice, we feel guilty and ashamed, which may result in increases in self-hatred SH. Both divine forgiveness (DF) and self-forgiveness (SF) may alleviate such hatred toward the self. DF is especially an important concept for Christians. Therefore, we examined SH in relation to forgiveness in the context of one’s wrongdoing by recruiting participants from a Christian university. Findings supported the associations between SF, DF, and SH. DF also moderated the link between SF and SH by weakening the association between the two. This research increased our understanding of the relationships between forgiveness and SH, offering insights that may aid individuals in coping with self-directed negative emotions. |
