In a social world, conflict cannot be avoided, and opportunities to forgive in our daily life abound, whether we are the transgressor, the victim, or merely a witness to the transgression. Considerable research has shown the positive impacts of forgiving oneself and others, including better physical health and less anxiety and depression. This study investigated the process of forgiveness for Hong Kong Chinese, contrasting the results with findings on forgiveness in Western literature. Considering the vast differences in cultural values and intrinsic interpersonal rules between Chinese and Western cultures, a key question inspiring this research was, would the process of forgiveness involve different elements? It was speculated that the process of forgiveness might involve various cognitive, emotional, and behavioral features. The study adopted grounded theory as the method to develop a model for the process of forgiveness for Hong Kong Chinese elders. Elders were selected because existing research shows that as people age, there is an increasing tendency to forgive others, and forgiveness is most strongly associated with mental health outcomes for elders. Six participants over the age of 60 who indicated that they had forgiven another after a significant transgression participated in semi-structured interviews about their forgiveness stories. The results were analyzed with open, axial, and selective coding congruent with grounded theory. Results showed that the forgiveness process was similar to that described in Western literature, but there was one unique element suggested in these findings, the changes in the relationship between the transgressor and the victim. An overarching model of process of forgiveness in Hong Kong Chinese was proposed, whose aim was to shed light on the therapeutic process when clients' psychological problems involve interpersonal transgression and forgiveness.
