Forgiving others among university students

Abstract

              The current research aimed to identify forgiveness towards others among university students. The research was limited to male undergraduate students at Wasit University, morning studies, for the academic year (2025-2026). To achieve the research objective, the researchers adopted the “Worthington et al., 2006” scale consisting of (18) items. The psychometric properties of the scale were extracted, including validity, reliability, and discrimination, as all its items were valid, reliable, and discriminatory. The researchers applied the scale in its final form, consisting of (18) items, to a sample of (400) students, who were chosen randomly. After processing the data statistically using the statistical package (SPSS), the results showed that university students do not have forgiveness for others. In light of the results obtained, the researchers put forward a number of recommendations and suggestions.
