Forgiveness education interventions instruct children and adolescents in understanding forgiveness and its role in healthy relationships. In this meta-analytic review, 20 studies involving 1472 youth (51% female; M_age = 11.66) from 10 countries (studies: 40% North American, 25% East Asian, 20% Middle Eastern, 15% European) were retrieved to determine forgiveness education interventions’ effects on youth outcomes. Hedges’ g and confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess treatment effects. Findings suggest that forgiveness education interventions have a significant positive effect on forgiveness (g = 0.54, 95% CI [0.36, 0.73]) and anger (g = 0.29, 95% CI [0.11, 0.47]). Results lend support to the idea that children and adolescents who experience hurt from the unjust actions of others may benefit from learning about the process of forgiveness.

宽恕教育干预对儿童和青少年宽恕和愤怒影响的荟萃分析

宽恕教育干预指导儿童和青少年理解宽恕及其在健康关系中的作用。在这项荟萃分析综述中，检索了 20 项研究，涉及来自 10 个国家的 1472 名青年（51% 女性；M_年龄 = 11.66）（研究：北美 40%、东亚 25%、中东 20%、欧洲 15%）确定宽恕教育干预对青年成果的影响。Hedges 的g和置信区间 (CI) 用于评估治疗效果。研究结果表明，宽恕教育干预对宽恕（g  = 0.54, 95% CI [0.36, 0.73]）和愤怒（g = 0.29, 95% CI [0.11, 0.47])。结果支持这样一种观点，即因他人不公正行为而受到伤害的儿童和青少年可能会从学习宽恕过程中受益。
