The Mediating Roles of Perceived Behavioral Stability and Controllability in the Associations between Incremental Mindset of Personality and Forgiveness

In the case of singular transgressions, perceived behavioral stability, not controllability, mediated this association; but in the case of repeated transgressions, neither perceived behavioral stability nor controllability mediated this relationship.
