Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses showed that a nine-factor model could adequately fit the whole set of data. Overall, a large majority of the participants agreed with the view that forgiveness as an intergroup process was conceivable. For a majority of the participants: (a) the aim of the intergroup forgiveness process is reconciliation with the former offender; (b) the process does not need to be strictly conditional on adequate reparation and compensation; (c) it should be democratic \u2014 in other words, forgiveness should not be decided solely by politicians, traditional or religious authorities; (d) it belongs to the forgiver\u2014forgiven dyad \u2014 in other words, interference from the international community should be minimal; (e) it should be public (and not a negotiation between members of the elite) \u2014 forgiveness should be announced to the whole community using broad international languages; and (f) it should be an all-encompassing process, that is, it should encompass all the members of the requesting group, all the members of the forgiving group and all the offences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0539018409358646","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,5,20]],"date-time":"2010-05-20T05:39:26Z","timestamp":1274333966000},"page":"195-214","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The granting of forgiveness in an intergroup context: African and Asian social representations"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Etienne","family":"Mullet","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes in Paris,"}]},{"given":"St\u00e9phanie","family":"Nann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ren\u00e9-Descartes in Paris,"}]},{"given":"Joachim","family":"Kadima Kadiangandu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes in Paris,"}]},{"given":"F\u00e9lix","family":"Neto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Oporto, Portugal,"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda","family":"da Concei\u00e7\u00e3o Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Open University in Lisbon, Portugal,"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,5,20]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1080\/07388940600837680","volume":"24","author":"Ahmed, R.","year":"2007","journal-title":"Conflict management and peace science"},{"key":"atypb2","volume-title":"The healing of nations: the promise and limits of political forgiveness","author":"Amstutz, M.R.","year":"2004"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1005204408575"},{"issue":"4","key":"atypb4","first-page":"755","volume":"39","author":"Azar, F.","year":"2002","journal-title":"Journal of peace research"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0022343399036002003"},{"key":"atypb6","volume-title":"Telling the truth: truth telling and peace building in post-conflict societies","author":"Borer, T.A.","year":"2006"},{"key":"atypb7","unstructured":"Cairns, E., Tam, T., Hewstone, M. & Niens, U.
