| Izvleček: | Attachment style is a constant predictor of forgiveness, and it has been suggested that empathy mediates such effect, despite it has been tested in some previous research, they only have used measures of empathy as a trait, and in some others they do not measure secure attachment, and consider forgiveness and resentment as the extremes of the same continuum. Based on these disjunctions, for this research we aimed to test the mediation role of empathy towards the romantic partner on the attachment style effect on forgiveness and resentment. The participants were 264 Mexican adults involved in a romantic relationship. Simple mediation models showed that empathy mediates the effects of secure attachment style, forgiveness, and resentment, but only when the models included empathic wisdom and/or perspective taking as mediators. Such findings contribute to an accurate understanding of the relationship between the variables. |
