Research on when and why individuals engage in self-forgiveness after committing a wrongdoing draws a distinction between genuine self-forgiveness, which refers to taking responsibility for one’s actions while restoring positive feelings toward the self, and pseudo self-forgiveness, in which positive feelings toward the self are restored while denying responsibility for the transgression (Wenzel, Woodyatt, & Hedrick, 2012). Genuine self-forgiveness is favorable over pseudo self-forgiveness, insofar as genuine (but not pseudo) self-forgiveness can help an individual learn from past mistakes and adjust their future behavior (Wohl & McLaughlin, 2014). Prior research has not examined these self-forgiveness constructs in the context of interpersonal transgressions fueled by race-based prejudice. Existing racial attitudes literature suggests that if people feel guilt or discomfort after engaging in thought, action, or speech that is racially prejudiced (Fazio & Hilden, 2001), this can be beneficial in that it may reduce prejudice and prevent similar occurrences in the future (Chaney & Sanchez, 2018; Zuwerink, Devine, Monteith, & Cook, 1996). The purpose of the present study is to begin to integrate the literatures on self-forgiveness and reactions to one's own racial bias.
