Evidence of the effectiveness of forgiveness meditation intervention among college students in ‘emergingadulthood’ is still limited. This study aims to examine the effect of forgiveness meditation intervention towardforgiveness, self-forgiveness, forgiveness of others, and forgiveness of situations among college students. Thisstudy used a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design with measurements follow-up two weeks aftertreatment ended. The subjects were “emerging adulthood”, as many as 9 college students from DiponegoroUniversity, Indonesia (MAge = 20.67; SDAge = 0.5; Female = 77.8%). The results of quantitative analysis usingstatistical test of Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test between pretest and posttest showed a significant increase inforgiveness (z = -2.668, p < .01), self-forgiveness (z = -2.670, p < .01), and forgiveness of situations (z = -2.384,p < .05). Testing between posttest and follow-up were not significant (p > .05). However, the test results betweenpretest and follow-up on these three variables were still significant, z = -2.668, p <.01; z = -2.673, p < .01; and z= -2.388, p < .05, respectively. In contrast, no significant increase in the variable of forgiveness of others (p >.05). The qualitative analysis and further discussions are also presented.
