In this study, descriptive method and correlational research design of path analysis type were used. The results showed that the assumed pattern of Intermediate rumination, empathy and forgiveness related to social achievement goals, including social development, social demonstration approach, and social demonstration avoid to emotional, social, educational adjustment has good fitness.
