Sažetak
The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between beliefs about costs and benefits of forgiveness, motivation to forgive and well-being. The sample consisted of 150 adults (88 females and 62 males), aged from 20 to 62. The scale for measuring beliefs about costs and benefits of forgiveness (CBFS) was specially developed for this study. Beliefs about benefits of forgiveness included benefits for oneself and benefits for the relationship, while costs were related to beliefs that if forgiven offender would not learn to change his/her behaviour and that it can be dangerous for forgivers. Motivation to forgive was measured by TRIM Inventory consisting of three scales – revenge, avoidance and benevolence motivation. Well-being was measured by Life satisfaction scale and PANAS (measuring positive and negative affect). Regression analyses revealed that a significant positive predictor of life satisfaction was the belief, that forgiving benefits the relationship, while the belief that forgiving can be dangerous for the forgiver was negatively related to life satisfaction. A significant positive predictor of negative affect was the belief, that forgiving can be dangerous for the forgiver, while the belief, that forgiving benefits the relationship was negatively related to negative affect. It seems that believing in benefits of forgiveness rather than in costs can improve our well-being by increasing life satisfaction and lowering negative affect.
