The foremost gift or the impossible ideal to reach?
Valorial components of forgiveness among Italian adolescents
In the year 2006, the American Psychological Association published a series of Research Briefs brochures to make available
to the public short outlines on contemporary psychological studies of themes relevant to the United Nations’ mission. One
of the items that was listed and given a considerable attention within the psychological fi eld was ‘forgiveness’. That
initiative, despite the fact that forgiveness has been considered rather a theological issue, has generated a great interest
among psychologists, thus leading them to undertake some projects on forgiveness. In accordance with this concept of
forgiveness, we chose in this research to investigate an individual’s ability to forgive as related to a basic human value.
The study involved 274 Italian adolescents between 14 and 19 years of age. To measure variables involved in the research
we used the following instruments: Transgression-Related Interpersonal Motivations Inventory (TRIM-12), The Marital
Offence-Specifi c Forgiveness Scale (MOFS) adapted to the adolescents’ sample, Trait Forgiveness Scale (TFS), and
Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ). The results obtained in the study show that forgiveness is positively related to selftranscendent
and conservation values, and negatively correlated with self-enhancement and openness to change values.
