The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of self-conscious emotions in the relationship between belief in a just / unfair world with forgiveness. The design of this study was descriptive (non-experimental) of structural equation modeling. The sample of the study consisted of 411 people who were referred to Karaj health houses in the summer of 1977. . The participants responded to the Fair Faith Beliefs Questionnaire (BJWS), the third revised version of the Adult Self-Awareness Scale (TOSCA-3) and the Vote et al. (2001) Scale of Structural Equation Modeling Results showed that belief in the world Fair / unfair predicts forgiveness significantly, and indirect coefficient of coefficient between fair world belief and forgiveness (β = 0.05, P <0.05) was positive and significant at 0.05 level, indicating a role Mediation is the emotion of the conscious. The conceptual model of the research was validated using the data and fit indices of the model confirm it. The results of this study show that forgiveness is not just a secondary phenomenon that is a product of positive life experiences or personal characteristics, etc. It should be an interactive approach to negativity and, as a positive behavioral outcome, can be the result of structural interaction.
