Methods This study conducted a survey consisnting adult-attachment scale, psychological well-being scale, self-compassion scale and forgiveness scale. The collected datea was analyzed with SPSS 35 and Mplus 7.3. Results This study confirms the need for varying approaches to forgiveness depending on adult attachment dimensions and the importance of attaining self-compassion, a positive factor, before forgiveness to achieve psychological well-being. Attachment anxiety improved psychological well-being only through a sequential, double mediation by self-compassion and forgiveness. Conversely, attachment avoidance can boost psychological well-being through a simple mediation by self-compassion or forgiveness and also can enhance psychological well-being through double mediation by self-compassion and forgiveness. The factors were associated in the following ways. First, there were significant correlations among adult attachment, psychological well-being, self-compassion, and forgiveness. Second, self-compassion and forgiveness did not have simple mediating effects on the relationship between attachment anxiety and psychological well-being. However, self-compassion and forgiveness had double mediating effects. Third, self-compassion and forgiveness had a mediating effect on the relationship between attachment avoidance and psychological well-being, and both had a double mediating effect as well. Conclusions In this study, the discussion and limitation of this study is presented.
