Forgiveness in Young Adult Dating Relationships: A Comparative Study Between Javanese and Buginese

Abstract

Erikson stated that the intimacy vs isolation crisis is closely related to an individual’s ability to establish a romantic relationship. Conflict resolution is needed so that the relationship continues to run well. One of the things that can be done is to forgive. This study aims to determine the level of forgiveness in early adult dating relationships between Javanese and Bugis tribes. The study uses quantitative methods with comparative studies. The subjects in this study were Javanese (n = 20) and Bugis (n = 20) people. Data collection in this study used the Heartland Forgiveness Scale which was translated into Indonesian by the researcher. The t-test hypothesis test shows that the results of this study show no difference in the level of forgiveness in dating relationships in young Javanese and Buginese adults. This happens because there are other factors that are more influential than the influence of culture itself such as commitment, closeness and satisfaction with the relationship, emotional control, personal factor, empathy, and religious commitment.
