Summary
Individuals as social beings, interact with others as needed in social life. When the individual interacts with others, he both influences and is affected by the dimensions of emotion, thought and behavior as well as the dimension of communication (Colakoğlu, 2012; Leary, 2004). Interpersonal schemas, which are formed by the combination of the individual's perceptions of himself and his environment, affect the feelings, thoughts and behaviors of the individual towards himself and other people, and his relations with other people (Hamamcı & Büyüköztürk, 2003; Safran & Segal, 2004; Savaşır et al, 2009). Cognitive distortions cause forming unhealthy interpersonal relationship patterns and they cause a decrease in satisfaction from social relationships (Murat, 2019) This situation increases the possibility of individuals having problems related to their interpersonal relationships (Sullivan & Schwebel, 1995; Quilty, 2020). With forgiveness, which has an important function in maintaining the relationship in interpersonal relations, cognitive distortions of individuals, which are far from functional, turn into a functional ones
