Beberapa studi terdahulu menjelaskan bahwa perselingkuhan dalam perkawinan merupakan salah satu pelanggaran yang sulit untuk dimaafkan terutama pada individu dengan trait neuroticism. Mindfulness diketahui mampu membantu meningkatkan pemaafan pada individu yang diselingkuhi oleh pasangan dalam perkawinan. Penelitian dilakukan untuk menguji efek mindfulness sebagai moderator dalam hubungan antara trait neuroticism dengan pemaafan pada individu yang mengalami perselingkuhan rumah tangga. Data diambil menggunakan convenience sampling pada partisipan laki-laki dan perempuan berusia ≥ 18 tahun, heteroseksual, sudah menikah, pernah atau masih mengalami diselingkuhi oleh pasangan. Partisipan penelitian sebanyak 329 orang mengisi kuesioner Marital Offence-Specific Forgiveness Scales (MOFS) untuk mengukur variabel pemaafan, International Personal Pool-Big Five Model 50 (IPIP-BFM50) dimensi emotional stability untuk mengukur variabel trait neuroticism, dan Cognitive-Affective Mindfulness Scales- Revised (CAMS-R) untuk mengukur variabel mindfulness. Melalui moderated regression analysis diketahui bahwa mindfulness tidak berperan secara signifikan dalam memoderatori hubungan antara trait neuroticism dan pemaafan. Meski demikian terdapat trend perubahan dalam bentuk pemaafan pada partisipan dengan trait neuroticism apabila ditinjau dari tingkat mindfulness. Hal ini mengindikasikan adanya potensi yang mengarah pada proses dinamis yang kemudian mampu membantu individu neuroticism untuk memaafkan.

Recent studies describe Infidelity in marriage as a serious offense and is difficult to forgive, especially for individuals with the neuroticism trait. Mindfulness is known to be able to help increase forgiveness in individuals who have been cheated on by their partners in marriage. The study was conducted to examine the effect of mindfulness as a moderator in the relationship between the neuroticism trait and forgiveness in individuals who experience marriage infidelity. Data were taken using convenience sampling on male and female participants aged ≥ 18 years, heterosexual, married, had or still experienced being cheated on by their partner. Research participants as many as 329 people filled out the Marital Offence-Specific Forgiveness Scales (MOFS) questionnaire to measure forgiveness, the International Personal Pool-Big Five Model 50 (IPIP-BFM50) dimensions of emotional stability to measure the neuroticism trait variable, and Cognitive-Affective Mindfulness Scales- Revised (CAMS-R) to measure the mindfulness variable. Through moderated regression analysis, it was found that mindfulness did not play a significant role in moderating the relationship between the neuroticism trait and forgiveness. However, there is a trend of change in the form of forgiveness in participants with the neuroticism trait when viewed from the level of mindfulness. This indicates the potential that leads to a dynamic process which is then able to help neuroticism individuals to forgive.
