Social Psychology on Remorse - Dictionary of Arguments
Parisi I 138 Remorse/Social Psychology/Nadler/Mueller: As a general matter, when a wrongdoer expresses remorse, this expression can influence perceptions of the wrongdoer's moral character, and his propensity to engage in wrongful behavior in the future (Etienne and Robbennolt, 2007(1); Gold and Weiner, 2000(2); Takaku, 2001(3)). Apology: An apology is designed to convince others that the wrongful act does not represent what I am "really like" as a person (Schlenker, 1980)(4). Personal relations: An expression of remorse by a romantic partner leads to the belief that the wrong will not be repeated, which in turn leads to empathy and forgiveness (J.R. Davis and Gold, 2011)(5). Intention: When a victim perceives a transgression as having been unintentional, an apology is an effective way of prompting forgiveness; however, victims are slower to forgive intentional transgressions even after an apology. In fact, in some cases of intentional wrongdoing, an apology can actually hinder forgiveness (Struthers et al., 2008)(6). >Apologies/Social Psychology, >Attractiveness/Social Psychology, >Punishment/Social Psychology. 1.
