Abstract: | In two studies that were conducted in Rwanda, we have examined the conceptualizations held by people who have experienced
genocide with regard to reconciliation sentiment and quantitatively assessed the relationship between reconciliation sentiment
and mental health. It was found that the participants have articulated conceptualizations regarding the nature of reconciliation
sentiment. These conceptualizations are consistent with the way the genocide victims personally experienced reconciliation.
More importantly, one type of reconciliation sentiment (the one corresponding to a renewed capacity to live together, hear
each other, work together, and to forge compromises on a daily basis) was associated with mental health. |
