Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of forgiveness therapy to improve the subjective well-being of women victims of sexual harassment. Many effects caused by sexual harassment include decreased self-esteem, decreased self-confidence, depression, anxiety, fear of rape and revenge toward people who have committed abuse. This condition causes a person's subjective well being to be low, which tends to feel dissatisfied with his life, does not feel happy and often feels negative emotions such as anxiety and anger. Therefore, efforts are needed so that victims of sexual harassment can improve their subjective well-being. One way that can be done is to give interventions with forgiveness therapy. Forgiveness will be able to reduce negative emotions, which are characterized by the reduced desire to take revenge or avoid the offender. To forgive means to be able to accept the bitter reality that has ever happened and to make peace with it. Quantitative data analysis using the nonparametric Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The results of the data analysis show that p = 0.013, this value indicates that the probability is below 0.05. It can be concluded that forgiveness therapy can improve the subjective well-being of women victims of sexual harassment.
