Indicate the gap: the lack of research in the temporal sequence of forgiveness and psychological adjustment

7. However, the empirical evidence, which we review below, does not allow for firm conclusions regarding the temporal sequence of forgiveness and psychological adjustment.

8. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the relation between forgiveness and psychological adjustment through the use of longitudinal data.

9. In the psychological literature, several definitions of forgiveness have been proposed,

9.1 . but there is growing consensus that

9.2. forgiveness may be defined by prosocial motivational changes towards a transgressor, consisting in a decrease in interpersonal avoidance, a decrease in revenge motivation, and an increase in benevolence (cf. [McCullough and Hoyt, 2002], [McCullough et al., 1997] and [McCullough et al., 1998]).

10. McCullough, Fincham, and Tsang (2003) investigated this conception of forgiveness by modeling forgiveness as intraindividual changes in forgiveness indicators (avoidance, revenge, benevolence).
