ABSTRACT We investigated, in two studies, whether forgiveness mediates the relationship between responsibility attributions and marital outcomes among American and Indian couples using the actor–partner interdependence mediation model. In American couples (n = 96), husband forgiveness mediated the link between husband attributions and wife closeness in Study 1. The same model was tested with Indian couples (n = 101) and husband forgiveness mediated the link between wife attributions and both husband and wife marital quality in Study 2. In some cases, forgiveness mediates the association between attributions and marital quality. Implications for clinical practice and future research are discussed.

摘要 我们在两项研究中使用演员-伴侣相互依赖中介模型调查了宽恕是否在美国和印度夫妇的责任归因和婚姻结果之间起中介作用。在美国夫妇 (n = 96) 中，丈夫的宽恕在研究 1 中调节了丈夫归因与妻子亲密之间的联系。同样的模型在印度夫妇 (n = 101) 中进行了测试，丈夫的宽恕调节了妻子归因与夫妻之间的联系。研究 2 中的妻子婚姻质量。在某些情况下，宽恕会调节归因与婚姻质量之间的关联。讨论了对临床实践和未来研究的影响。
