While research has been conducted in the Chinese context on conflict resolution approaches, little scholarly attention has been given to explaining what factors contribute to relational reconciliation processes. The purpose of this qualitative, constructivist grounded theory study was to understand and explain what factors impact mainland Chinese Christians' efforts to reconcile after conflict. For this study, 31 Chinese Christian adults from 3 large cities and 13 churches who had experienced reconciliation in a relationship were interviewed in person using a semi-structured, conversational style. A central understanding emerged from the data: Chinese Christians' efforts to reconcile after conflict are impacted by following existing social norms and engaging new concepts. Following social norms including using an action apology or an artificial apology is likely to result in surface-level reconciliation or possibly a worsened relationship. Engaging new concepts offers perspectives and skills which, along with supportive relationships, an authentic apology, and emotional forgiveness, are likely to result in heart-level reconciliation. Four conclusions were drawn regarding the participants' experiences and perspectives: (a) reconciliation may be conceptually understood as having two outcomes: surface-level or heart-level reconciliation; (b) following certain social norms seems to maintain social harmony but does not necessarily create an environment for heart-level reconciliation, which is what participants most wanted in their relationships; (c) engaging new concepts, with supportive relationships, appears to be the catalyst for expanded perspectives and new engagement skills and contributes to heart-level reconciliation; and (d) while using an action apology or an artificial apology is likely to result in surface-level reconciliation or possibly a worsened relationship, making an authentic apology and extending emotional forgiveness is likely to result in heart-level reconciliation. This study contributes an emic Chinese Christian perspective to the literature investigating the relationship between cultural values, social norms, interpersonal conflict, apology, forgiveness, religion, change, and relational reconciliation. Generating new theory regarding factors impacting Chinese Christians' reconciliation efforts in the mainland China context, this study contributes to a fuller understanding of Chinese Christians' experiences of relational reconciliation.
