Forgiveness is crucial for establishing coparenting relationships following divorce, yet little is known about the predictors of forgiveness after divorce. In 2 studies, we explore dispositional and divorce-specific factors that correlate with ex-partner forgiveness. In Study 1, we used data from a convenience sample of 136 divorced parents. In Study 2, we used a clinical sample of 165 parents involved in a complex (high-conflict) divorce, who were referred to treatment because of the threat their conflicts posed to their children's well-being. Across samples, forgiveness was negatively associated with conflict severity, narcissistic entitlement, hostile attributions, and traumatic impact of the divorce, and positively with trust and acceptance of the divorce. The main predictors of forgiveness in both samples were more acceptance of the divorce and less narcissistic entitlement. Forgiveness was unrelated to dispositional self-control and trait anger in either sample. We found no evidence of cross-partner effects in Study 2, except for women's hostile attributions on men's forgiveness. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

离婚父母的宽恕的预测因素。

宽恕对于离婚后建立同居关系至关重要，但对于离婚后的宽恕预测因素知之甚少。在2项研究中，我们探讨了与前伴侣宽恕相关的性格和离婚特定因素。在研究1中，我们使用了来自136个离异父母的便利样本的数据。在研究2中，我们使用了涉及复杂（高冲突）离婚的165名父母的临床样本，由于冲突对孩子的健康构成威胁，他们被送往治疗。在所有样本中，宽恕与冲突的严重程度，自恋的权利，敌对的归因和离婚的创伤影响呈负相关，与离婚的信任和接受呈正相关。两个样本中原谅的主要预测因素是离婚的接受程度更高，而自恋的权利则更少。宽容与两个样本中的性格自我控制和特质愤怒无关。在研究2中，我们没有发现任何跨伙伴效应的证据，除了女性对男性宽恕的敌意归因。讨论了理论和实践意义。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
