Abstrakt: One of the ways to make a relationship last is to have the ability to forgive offenders, thereby reducing the anger and pain that come with painful actions and words from close friends and associates. According to the Abrahamic religions and relationship experts, forgiveness is the path to eternal life and lasting relationships in all spheres of engagement. Aim The study applied the Enright Process Model of forgiveness to assess how people can forgive others and reduce anger. Methods The quasi-experimental design used a using with sample of 26 first-year students from two colleges of education. The treatment lasted for six weeks. Instruments The Attitude and General Anger Inventories were used to collect the data. Analysis The data was analysed using Independent Samples t-test and Pearson's Correlation Findings The results showed that the model was able to increase the level of forgiveness; however, the level of anger was reduced but it was not significant, there was also an inverse relationship between forgiveness and anger among the respondents. Recommendations Counsellors are encouraged to use the model in their work because it shows a promising increase in reducing unforgiveness. Another suggestion was that other forgiveness models should be tested among college students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
