Current qualitative study was aimed to generate a forgiveness theoretical model of collective culture. A grounded theory approach was applied by conducting in-depth interviews on 8 Javanese adolescents. Data was analyzed through open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. Results showed that relationship disruption and negative emotions served as phenomenon emerging form the transgression. Forgiveness statement and decisional forgiveness were given as strategies to restore relationship, and emotional forgiveness to ease the negative emotions and reach intrapersonal peace. Harmonious value, cooperation, and apologizing were among the intervening conditions fostering decisional forgiveness, and the presence of efforts to retrains negative emotion, maintain positive communication, lessening rumination were the intervening conditions accelerating emotional forgiveness. Implications for following studies and interventions are presented.
