Abstract

Forgiveness is an important emotional skill for adolescents in managing negative emotions and resolving interpersonal conflicts in an adaptive manner. This study aims to develop and test the effectiveness of the Strategic Media Animation for Forgiveness Education (SMART-FORGIVE) program in fostering an attitude of forgiveness among high school students. The research approach used a Research and Development (R&D) design with 34 tenth-grade students from State High School 1 Malang as subjects. The instruments used in this study were the Enright Forgiveness Inventory (EFI) scale, as well as expert and prospective user evaluation forms. Data analysis included inter-rater agreement to assess product feasibility and a paired-sample t-test to evaluate effectiveness. The results indicate that the SMART-FORGIVE media achieved a very high level of feasibility in terms of accuracy, usefulness, appeal, and ease of use, based on the agreement scores from experts and prospective users. The effectiveness results showed a significant increase in students’ forgiveness scores between the pretest and posttest (Sig. <0.05). Thus, the SMART-FORGIVE medium is deemed suitable and effective for use as a classical guidance service strategy to develop forgiveness attitudes among high school students.
