NETO, Felix; MULLET, Etienne; CHIARAMELLO, Stephanie  and  SUWARTONO, Chritiany. Seeking Forgiveness: Factor Structure in Samples from Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Southern Europe. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2013, vol.12, n.3, pp.663-669. ISSN 1657-9267.

The study examined, using confirmatory factor analyses, the three-factor structure of the Disposition to Seek Forgiveness Questionnaire - inability in seeking forgiveness, sensitivity to circumstances before seeking forgiveness, and unconditional seeking of forgiveness - among samples from Latin America (Brazil), Africa (Angola and Mozambique), Asia (Indonesia), and Southern Europe (Portugal). It was found that this ternary structure has cross-cultural generality.

Keywords : Seeking forgiveness; Angola; Brazil; Indonesia; Mozambique; Factor Analyses; Social Psychology; Quantitative Research.
