TI  - A personological examination of self- and other-forgiveness in the five factor 
      model.
PG  - 207-14
AB  - In a sample composed of 147 undergraduates (age range 18 to 55 years; M = 22), we 
      conducted an examination of the convergent and discriminant validity of self- and 
      other-forgiveness in the Five-factor model of personality (FFM). Using multiple 
      measures of each construct, principal components analysis (PCA) supported a 
      2-component model of forgiveness. Findings for the PCA and external correlates 
      with the FFM provided evidence for a largely orthogonal relationship between 
      self- and other-forgiveness. Specifically, self-forgiveness was negatively 
      related to Neuroticism and unrelated to Agreeableness, whereas other-forgiveness 
      was unrelated to Neuroticism and positively related to Agreeableness. Overlap 
      between the constructs was found in which both self- and other-forgiveness were 
      negatively related to the hostility facet of Neuroticism and the order facet from 
      Conscientiousness and positively related to the warmth and positive emotions 
      facet scales from the Extraversion domain of the Revised NEO Personality 
      Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1992). Overall, these findings suggest that self- and 
      other-forgiveness, although seemingly similar, carry very different motivational 
      underpinnings.
