• Research on religion/spirituality and forgiveness: A meta-analytic review. (2013, methodology): “Namely, the meta-analysis by Fehr et al. (2010) found that, in general, situational constructs (e.g., state empathy, attribution of responsibility for the offense) accounted for more variance in forgiveness than did dispositional constructs (e.g., agreeableness, neuroticism).”

• Revisiting gender differences: What we know and what lies ahead☆ (2015, background): “While forgiveness is correlated with female-stereotypic traits, such as empathy and relationship commitment, it is negatively related to others, such as rumination and severity of victimization (Fehr et al., 2010).”
