Abstract

The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of self-forgiveness, the forgiveness of others, shame and guilt on female adolescents' eating attitude, and the mediating effect of shame on the relationship between self-forgiveness or the forgiveness of others and eating attitude. For this research, questionnaires on self-forgiveness, the forgiveness of others, shame, guilt and eating attitude were administered to 700 female adolescents from middle and high schools in Seoul, Incheon and Daegu. Among 683 distributed questionnaires, 640 were selected and statistically analyzed by frequency analysis, t-test, Pearson's correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and stepwise multiple regression analysis using SPSS Win 12.0. The main findings of the study are as follows: Firstly, grades had a significant influence on self-forgiveness, guilt and eating attitude. Religion was not found to have a significant influence on any of the variables. Secondly, female adolescents' self-forgiveness, the forgiveness of others and shame were found to significantly affect their eating attitude. Lastly, shame was found to have a partial mediating effect on the relationship between self-forgiveness and eating attitude.
