Abstract

The study aims to examine the contribution of anger, gratitude and well-being in predicting forgiveness. A sample of 70 subjects (38 male & 32 female) who were in the age range of 32-40 years. Heartland Forgiveness Scale (2005); Know Yourself Scale (2015); Gratitude Questionnaire-Six Item Form (2002); and Oxford Happiness Scale (2002) were used to measure Forgiveness, Anger, Gratitude and Well-being respectively. Results showed that there is a significant negative relationship between anger and forgiveness (-.76) while gratitude and forgiveness (.82) and well-being and forgiveness (.82) are significantly positively related. Multiple Regression Analysis revealed that anger, gratitude and subjective well-being all are significant predictors of forgiveness. It was found that gratitude contributes most while well-being contributes least in predicting forgiveness.
