AB - The purpose of this study is to verify the effects of the forgiveness promoting group program developed by Everett L. Worthington, Jr. under the Korean culture and to examine the applicability of the program in a Christian Counseling setting. The experimental and control groups were composed of 6 Korean adults each who reside in LA, USA. Transgression-Related Interpersonal Motivations Inventory-Korean: (TRIM-K) and Trait Forgiveness Scale-Korean (TFS-K) were used as forgiveness scales, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9-Korean (PHQ-9-K), Korean Beck Anxiety Inventory (K-BAI), and State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory-Korean (STAXI-K) were administered to measure psychological effects of the forgiveness promoting program. The results of this study were as follows: First, the results of repeated measures ANOVAs showed that there was significant interaction effects on the total score of TRIM-K, ηp2 = .60, F(1, 10) = 14.96, p = .003. The experimental group showed more significant decrease on TRIM-K than the control group. Second, there were no significant changes on the levels of trait forgiveness, depression, anxiety, and anger between the experimental group and the control group. The results indicated that Worthington’s forgiveness promoting program was partially proven to be an effective intervention to increase the level of forgiveness in Korean culture and revealed that it can be utilized as an applicable tool in Christian Counseling settings that teach volitional and continual forgiveness.
