Abstract

The study investigated relations among memories of parental (maternal and paternal) acceptance-rejection, forgiveness, and vengeance, as mediated by psychological (mal)adjustment. The sample consists of 323 Turkish adults (50% females; Age range: 18-61 years; Mage = 35.73, SD = 10.41) from Istanbul, Turkiye. Participants responded to mother and father versions of the adult Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (adult PARQ; short form), the adult Personality Assessment Questionnaire (adult PAQ; short form), the Heartland Forgiveness Scale, the Vengeance Scale, and the Personal Information Form. The results showed that both men and women remembered their parents as substantially warm and accepting during childhood and self-reported having fair psychological adjustment. Men and women were found to be equally likely to be forgiving as unforgiving and reported no dispositions toward vengeance. However, men reported higher levels of vengeance as compared to women. Psychological adjustment mediated the relations between parental acceptance and forgiveness, while psychological maladjustment mediated the relations between parental rejection and vengefulness for women and men. Implications of the findings and future research directions are discussed.

土耳其成年人对父母接受-拒绝的记忆、心理（不良）适应、宽恕和复仇之间的关系。

本研究调查了父母（母亲和父亲）接受-拒绝、宽恕和报复记忆之间的关系，以及这些记忆与心理（不良）适应之间的关系。样本由来自土耳其伊斯坦布尔的 323 名土耳其成年人组成（50% 为女性；年龄范围：18-61 岁；平均年龄 = 35.73，标准差 = 10.41）。参与者回答了母亲和父亲版本的成人父母接受-拒绝问卷（成人 PARQ；简表）、成人人格评估问卷（成人 PAQ；简表）、心境宽恕量表、复仇量表和个人信息表。结果显示，男性和女性在童年时期对父母的记忆都是非常温暖和包容的，并且自称心理适应能力一般。研究发现，男性和女性同样可能宽容和不宽容，并且没有报复倾向。然而，与女性相比，男性报告的报复程度更高。心理适应对父母的接受与宽恕之间的关系起着中介作用，而心理不适应则对父母的拒绝与复仇之间的关系起着中介作用。本文讨论了研究结果的意义和未来的研究方向。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Genetic Psychology is devoted to research and theory in the field of developmental psychology. It encompasses a life-span approach, so in addition to manuscripts devoted to infancy, childhood, and adolescence, articles on adulthood and aging are also published. We accept submissions in the area of educational psychology as long as they are developmental in nature. Submissions in cross cultural psychology are accepted, but they must add to our understanding of human development in a comparative global context. Applied, descriptive, and qualitative articles are occasionally accepted, as are replications and refinements submitted as brief reports. The review process for all submissions to The Journal of Genetic Psychology consists of double blind review.
