The political climate in the United States is turbulent. The current study examined how (a) one’s own political humility and (b) one’s perceptions of the political humility of another person affect one’s willingness to forgive another person for a political hurt or offense. Participants (N = 494) reported a recent political conflict and reported their forgiveness of the transgressor of this political hurt. Both the participant’s political humility and perceptions of the offender’s political humility were positively associated with forgiveness, whereas political commitment was negatively associated with forgiveness. Moreover, political humility buffered the negative relationship between political commitment and forgiveness. We conclude by discussing limitations, suggestions for future research, and practical applications.

政治谦逊和对政治伤害或冒犯的宽恕

美国的政治气候动荡不安。目前的研究调查了 (a) 自己的政治谦逊和 (b) 一个人对他人政治谦逊的看法如何影响一个人原谅他人的政治伤害或冒犯的意愿。参与者 (N = 494) 报告了最近的政治冲突，并报告了他们对这次政治伤害的违法者的宽恕。参与者的政治谦逊和对犯罪者政治谦卑的看法与宽恕呈正相关，而政治承诺与宽恕呈负相关。此外，政治谦逊缓冲了政治承诺与宽恕之间的负面关系。我们最后讨论了局限性、对未来研究的建议和实际应用。
