Abstract:
Objective: The primary aim of the current research was to present a forgiveness model based on childhood maltreatment and attachment styles with the mediating role of defensive mechanisms in betrayal victims.Methods and Materials: The method of this study was descriptive-correlational and of the structural equation modeling type. The population of this study consisted of individuals who were victims of betrayal and had sought counseling in Tehran in the year ۲۰۲۲, from whom ۶۵۳ persons were selected through convenience sampling. The instruments used in this study were the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire by Bernstein et al. (۲۰۰۳), the Attachment Styles Questionnaire by Hazan and Shaver (۱۹۸۷), the Defense Mechanisms Questionnaire by Andrews et al. (۱۹۹۳), and the Forgiveness Questionnaire by Rey et al. (۲۰۰۱). Data were analyzed using SPSS-۲۵ and AMOS-۲۴ software.Findings: The results indicated that there is a negative relationship between childhood maltreatment, insecure attachment styles, and undeveloped and neurotic defensive mechanisms with forgiveness (P<۰.۰۱); whereas secure attachment style and developed defenses had a positive relationship with forgiveness (P<۰.۰۱). Additionally, the results suggested that defensive mechanisms mediate the relationship between childhood maltreatment and attachment styles with forgiveness in betrayal victims.Conclusion: Overall, the results demonstrated that the evaluated structural model has a satisfactory fit, and the findings could aid therapists and counselors in better understanding the forgiveness process in betrayal victims.Objective: The primary aim of the current research was to present a forgiveness model based on childhood maltreatment and attachment styles with the mediating role of defensive mechanisms in betrayal victims.
