Abstract
Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the Forgiveness program aimed at Conciliatory Behaviors, School Bonding, and Academic Well-being of Female Bullying Victims.
Method: The research methodology employed was a semi-experimental pre-test, post-test, and three-month follow-up design with experimental and control groups. The statistical population for this study comprised all female students in the eighth, ninth, and tenth grades in Tabriz, during the year 1402 AD. Out of these students, 60 were selected for this study using the Purposive sampling method and were randomly divided into two groups, the control group (30 people) and the experimental group (30 people) who received the forgiveness program. The forgiveness program comprised 15 sessions. The research tools used in this study included the Conciliatory Behaviors scale by Ranganathan and Todorov (2010), School bonding by Brown and Evans (2002), and the Academic Well-being scale by Pietarinen, Soini, & Pyhalto (2014) and California Bullying Victimization Scale by Felix et al (2011). The research data were analyzed using the mixed multivariate analysis of variance.
Results: The results of this study indicate that the Forgiveness program had a significant positive impact on Conciliatory Behaviors, School Bonding, and Academic Well-being (P<0.05), and this effect was sustained during the follow-up phase as well.
Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, considering the usefulness of the forgiveness program, this program can be used to improve the Conciliatory behaviors, School bonding, and Academic well-being of female students who are victims of bullying.
