- Abstract
- The present study attempted to improve self-esteem
and social competence through a self-administered
forgiveness program based on the Enright Forgiveness
Process Model. The participants were individuals with
insecure attachment, who had been hurt and unfairly
treated by their mothers. The forgiveness education
program continued for eight weeks. Self-esteem and social
competence are known as psychological features related to
insecure attachment. To compare the gains between the
forgiveness group and the control group, a paired samples
t-test was conducted. The results showed that the
forgiveness groups' gain scores for secure attachment,
forgiveness, self-esteem, and social competence were
significantly greater than the control group's. The
enhanced scores on all variables but social competence
lasted until the follow-up test, which was conducted eight
weeks after the posttest.
