Answer to Question 1

In cases such as tobacco smoking, self-blame can lead to positive health behaviors such as quitting smoking.

Answer to Question 2

The small body of research literature on the practice suggests that self-forgiveness is more likely to occur when the transgressing person (a) feels less guilt about the transgression (b) engages in more conciliatory behavior toward the victim and (c) perceives the victim as more forgiving (Hall & Fincham, 2008).
