Özet
Though the concept of self-forgiveness has received much attention within the empirical literature lately, the explanations of the antecedents of the construct still remain limited. The purpose of the current study is to broaden the limits of self-forgiveness and to provide a better understanding regarding of the process. In this study, the relationship between basic psychological needs and self-forgiveness through the mediating role of emotion regulation difficulties was examined. The model provides a novel perspective for understanding self-forgiveness through the Self-Determination Theory. The sample consists of 451 university students (365 females and 86 males) between the ages 19 to 28 who completed questionnaires assessing tendencies of self-forgiveness, basic need satisfaction, and emotion regulation difficulties. Results indicate that emotion regulation difficulties partially mediate the relationship between basic need satisfaction and self-forgiveness. Consistent with our model, results reveal that as the satisfaction of the basic psychological needs increases, emotion regulation difficulties diminish, which results in an increase in self-forgiveness.
