Summary/Abstract: Forgiveness is an experience of many people who have been hurt or have caused someone else’s harm, but the decision to consider it in conflict situations may depend on cultural contexts related to values, religious beliefs, as well as historical and social conditions of a given environment. Therefore, in the conducted research, an attempt was made to compare the opinions of Polish and German students regarding the situations in which they would forgive and in which situations they would refrain from forgiving their faults.
