- 요약This is a first study of its kind to investigate the effects of forgiveness education on the development of agape love with fifth graders and their teachers in three culturally distinct sites: Northern Ireland, Israel, Taiwan. Agape love, drawn from an ancient Greek concept, is defined as a moral virtue in which a person willingly and unconditionally offers goodness, at a cost to the giver, to another or others in need. There is a giving of the self to the other(s) that is: (a) understood (conscious awareness of what this is and so agape can occur toward many across time), (b)motivated (I want to do this and for the good of the other), (c) willed (I will do this, again for the good of the other), and (d) acted upon (behavior) toward other people in such a way that the actions cost the one expressing that love (Enright, Wang Xu, Rapp, Evans, & Song, 2022). In my dissertation, I show the effect of a forgiveness education intervention on the development of agape love in children (10 to 12 years old) and teachers, based on the analysis of survey data collected from schools in the three sites at four time points throughout the academic year of 2021-22. The following measures were repeatedly administered in the surveys: recently validated agape love scales, Enright Forgiveness Inventory, anger, depression, hope, self-esteem, and empathy. The study is based on the hypothesis that through educating children about forgiveness, which is a conscious and deliberate expression of agape love, it will foster the moral virtues of agape love and forgiveness in the two major developmental domains of cognitive and socio-emotional development with improvement in psychological well-being in the children and the educators.
