Document Summary
Relational transgression: violating an implicit or explicit rule in a personal or social relationship. Can develop in to unforgiveness: holding grudges and ruminating about offenses, as motivational responses to a relational transgression. Forgiveness: a motivational transformation that inclines people to inhibit relationship- destructive responses to behave constructively towards someone who has behaved destructively toward them, plays a role. Mitigating the harmful effects associated with living in unforgiveness. Benefits both the victim and the offender (should the offense happen in a close relationship) Characterized by recurrent, thematic thinking about the self- prompted by threats of losses and injustices to self: affect. Empathy (differences with compassion), perspective taking: constraints. Expressive writing (dis)inhibition- venting, catharsis: self-regulation- framing an experience in such ways that produce positive emotion. Expressive writing to cope with hate speech. In response to discrimination: unresolved/undisclosed feelings are mentally and physically toxic.
