Aim of this research was to compare the meta-cognitive believes and mindful awareness among the high school teachers with more and less forgiveness in Najafabad, Isfahan. To do this, 100 teachers with high forgiveness level are compared with 100 teachers with low forgiveness level. According to Morgan table, 300 students were selected randomly. Participants firstly answered a forgiveness questionnaire by Wright et al (1998) with 0.87 reliability rate and then they were divided into two groups: 100 people with high forgiveness and 100 people with less forgiveness. Then, each group answered to MCQ questionnaire by Wales (1997) with reliability 0.73 and mindfulness questionnaires by Bauer (2006) with reliability 0.90.It is a causal-comparative research and results of the analysis showed that there is a significant difference between the mean scores of meta cognitive beliefs and their dimensions with mindfulness among the teachers with high and less forgiveness level. Given these results and the lack of simultaneous studying of the structures in the previous studies, with these forgiveness levels, the reformation of the structure in the population, especially those with low forgiveness, must be considered.

This study is an exploratory effort for sociologically analyzing the concept of forgiveness and determining its potential, according to the cognitive social capital. This article focuses on the associative dimension of forgiveness; and based on the relation of forgiving person with the victim, forgiveness potential is conceptualized in two aspects: forgiveness potential toward oneself, and potential toward the others. According to a survey is made on a sample of 378 citizens of Orumieh in cluster sampling method, the forgiveness potential average of 38/1 in 0-100 scale is a low rate. Also, when the people were victims, they would have more forgiveness potential (toward oneself) than when one of their family members was the victim (toward others). The exploratory results of the relation between the cognitive social capital and the forgiveness potential have shown that the cognitive social capital can increase 18% of the forgiveness potential. However, statistical findings have proven that the relation between social capital and forgiveness potential toward others is a Quadratic parabolic curve. In other words, the increase of social capital to an average level has raised the forgiveness potential toward family, whereas the increase of social capital decreased the forgiveness potential toward family members of a person.
