• Does good emotion management aid forgiving? Multiple dimensions of empathy, emotion management and forgiveness of self and others (2007, background): “For example, some researchers distinguish between pseudo self-forgiveness in which the person dismisses or rationalizes the hurt caused to others, and true self-forgiveness, which requires a sincere acknowledgement and sense of responsibility for the hurt caused (Hall & Fincham, 2005).”
• Self-forgiveness versus excusing: The roles of remorse, effort, and acceptance of responsibility (2006, background): “Forgiveness theorists have consistently emphasized the need for transgressors to take responsibility for their offenses before attempting to forgive themselves (Dillon, 2001; Flanigan, 1996; Hall & Fincham, 2005; Holmgren, 1998, 2002; Snow, 1993).”
• PERSONALITY AND SELF-FORGIVENESS: THE ROLES OF SHAME, GUILT, EMPATHY AND CONCILIATORY BEHAVIOR (2010, methodology): “ceptable given the exploratory nature of the study, the present study tested only a section of Hall and Fincham’s (2005) original model.”
• Research on religion/spirituality and forgiveness: A meta-analytic review. (2013, background): “For example, a psychopath might never experience shame or guilt for an offense, which is different from a prosocial course of selfforgiveness that involves appropriate levels of guilt and shame that subside after the offender apologizes or offers restitution (Hall & Fincham, 2005, 2008).”
• I forgive myself, now I can study: How self-forgiveness for procrastinating can reduce future procrastination (2010, background): “Second, because self-forgiveness is typically accompanied by a vow to change one’s behavior in the future (Hall & Fincham, 2005; Tangney, Boone, & Dearing, 2005; Wohl et al., 2008), this encourages the individual to engage in approach behaviors rather than behaviors motivated by avoidance.”
• THE TEMPORAL COURSE OF SELF-FORGIVENESS (2008, background): “The results lend preliminary support to the self–forgiveness model proposed by Hall and Fincham (2005) and have the potential to inform self–forgiveness interventions, as they highlight several viable avenues for the facilitation of intrapersonal forgiveness.”
• Forgiveness, Gratitude, and Well-Being: The Mediating Role of Affect and Beliefs (2009, background): “Other researchers have also discussed the connection between lack of self-forgiveness and shame and guilt, two powerful negative emotions that are likely to detract from the experience of well-being (Hall and Fincham 2005; Tangney et al. 2005).”
• Moral injury and moral repair in war veterans: a preliminary model and intervention strategy. (2009, background): “Hall and Fincham (2005) define self-forgiveness as “a set of motivational changes whereby one becomes decreasingly motivated to avoid stimuli associated with the offense, decreasingly motivated to retaliate against the self (e.”
• Religious Considerations and Self-Forgiveness in Treating Complex Trauma and Moral Injury in Present and Former Soldiers (2012, background): “What Self-forgiveness Is Not In theorizing about self-forgiveness, Hall and Fincham (2005) have described the didculty of precisely defning self-forgiveness.”
