摘要：

The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of forgiveness education on positive psychology variables (empathy, altruism and willingness to forgive) in Iranian adolescents. Two hundred twenty-four (Persian, Azeri, and Kurdish) male and female students in eighth grade participated. Schools were randomly assigned to experimental (N=123) and control (N=101) groups. Measures include the Toronto Empathy Questionnaire, Altruistic Personality Scale, and Willingness to Forgive Scale, administered at pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. The experimental group was presented with 15 weekly sessions of teaching forgiveness programs by classroom teachers. The results showed that the experimental group improved more in degrees of empathy, altruism, and willingness to forgive compared to the control group, and also at follow-up. It seems that forgiveness education programs can contribute to human flourishing with the increase of positive psychology in students, particularly in empathy, altruism, and willingness to forgive.
