This study aimed to investigate the moderating effects of empathy on the relationship between Korean ethnic sentiments, cheong(情) and forgiveness. Cheong, forgiveness and empathy related data was collected from a pool of 201 undergraduate students who completed Cheong scale, Forgiveness Trait Scale(FTS) and Korean-Balanced Emotional Empathy Scale(K-BEES), and were analysed using structural equation modeling(SEM) of moderation. The results indicated that the Korean’s cheong significantly and positively related to forgiveness and empathy. Empathy also significantly and positively related to forgiveness. Subsequently, this study examined a hypothesis model that cheong is predictor variable, forgiveness is outcome variable, and empathy is moderator. The model for this study was entirely verified model fit by CMIN/DF, IFI, TLI, CFI and RMSEA. Further, empathy turned out to have a positive moderating effect on the relationship between cheong and forgiveness. Finally, the implications for psychosocial rehabilitation services, suggestions for future study and several limitations of this study were discussed.
