Abstract

Back ground and purpose: When failure happens, forgiveness is a way to admit the failure in order to increase individual and social growth and also prevent motivation decrease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of forgiveness training program on perception of failure.

Material and method: This study was practical quasi-experimental and had pre-test, post-test, control group with intervals. Participants were 24 volleyball players in level two league in Isfahan who were chosen non-randomly but grouped randomly into controlled and experimental groups. The instruments for gathering the data were HFS (heartland forgiveness scale) and SASS (sport attritional style scale). In this study, descriptive statistics were used to determine central tendency (mean) and statistical dispersion (standard deviation) and Shapiro-Wilk Test to determine if the data was normal and to analyze the research hypothesis, T-test was used for independent group. All the data was analyzed using SPSS (P ≤0.05).

Result: The results of this study showed that forgiveness training had significant effect on failure perception with internal-external attributional style (0.02), instability-stability (00.00) and global-specific (0.005). But it didn’t have any significant effects on other subscales. Conclusion: Forgiveness training, therefor, is likely to replace athlete's perception of failure with external- internal, instability-stability and global-specific subscales.
