| Popis: | This study investigated the longitudinal effects of written disclosure on physiological and communicative health outcomes for victims of severe relational transgressions in dating relationships. Participants were assigned to a two-step writing condition, a benefit-finding condition, or a control condition to write once a day for three consecutive days on the same topic. Testosterone and forgiveness communication were assessed twice over the course of one-month. The results demonstrate that conditional forgiveness levels were higher for participants in both experimental conditions than in the control condition, whereas neither of the experimental conditions reduced testosterone levels. Across the writing conditions, testosterone levels were negatively associated with conditional forgiveness and positively associated with direct forgiveness. Finally, the results revealed that linguistic features in the writing predicted levels of testosterone and conditional forgiveness. |
