Practicing mindfulness can cultivate skills that can provide resilience in the face of difficult events (Karremans, Schellekens, & Kappen, 2015). Johns, Allen, and Gordon (2015) explored the relationship between aspects of mindfulness and forgiveness of infidelity and found that the skill of mindfulness of not being reactive was positively related to higher levels of forgiveness. Furthermore, lower levels of acting mindfully and not judging experiences were related to higher levels of unforgiveness. Because intimate relationships and romantic relationships rely on similar processes for relationship functioning, this study aims to extend the type of forgiveness to nonromantic relationships by measuring general willingness to forgive. Studies have also examined the relationship between mindfulness and other emotions, which is why empathy is introduced as a mediating variable in the relationship between mindfulness and forgiveness. Wachs and Cordova's (2007) study found that emotional repertoire skills such as empathic concern, perspective taking, control of anger expression, and self-soothing of anger are all related to mindfulness. In times of conflict, conscious awareness of one's reactions can increase empathy toward another person by understanding the role that external means play in influencing another's actions (Karremans, Schellekens, & Kappen,
