Abstract

To determine the sample size, 30 subjects were selected using the available sampling method and randomly assigned into two groups of control and experiment (each group was 15).
Results: The mean forgiveness of the hypothesized betrayal of the experimental group (M = 3.8), after adjustment, was higher than the mean of the control group (M = 2.1). Therefore systemic-structuralist paternalistic therapy has been effective in increasing the forgiveness of hypothetical betrayal (P <0.05).
Discussion and Conclusion: The results have shown that the use of indicators such as forgiveness, appreciation and affectionate actions increases the positive emotions in individuals (both patient and normal).
