Abstract

Research has identified that writing can help individuals find forgiveness for their romantic partners in the wake of relational transgressions, but little is known about the actual narrative components that bring about changes in forgiveness. The current study sought to investigate the narrative components that contribute to month-long changes in forgiveness for romantic partners who have recently experienced a relational transgression. It also sought to uncover emotional and biological mechanisms that can help account for the associations between narrative components and forgiveness outcomes. The results revealed components of narratives that may both contribute to an increase and decrease in forgiveness over the course of one-month. Additionally, emotional expression and testosterone were identified as potential mediators and moderators of the associations between narrative components and changes in forgiveness.

通过写作来原谅

研究已经发现，写作可以帮助人们在关系越轨之后为他们的恋人找到原谅，但对真正带来宽恕变化的叙事成分知之甚少。目前的研究试图调查那些最近经历过关系越轨的恋人在长达一个月的时间里宽恕变化的叙述成分。它还试图揭示情感和生物机制，这些机制可以帮助解释叙事成分和宽恕结果之间的联系。结果显示，在一个月的过程中，叙述的组成部分可能会导致宽恕的增加或减少。此外，情绪表达和睾丸激素被认为是叙事成分与宽恕变化之间关联的潜在中介和调节因子。
