Abstract Synopsis

  • This study investigates how forgiveness, stress, and health symptoms change and influence each other over a five-week period, finding that higher forgiveness is linked to less stress and improved mental health.
  • The research also tested reverse models and found that the pathway from forgiveness to health through stress was stronger than the reverse, suggesting forgiveness might help reduce stress and improve mental well-being.
  • Overall, the findings support the idea that cultivating forgiveness could be an effective strategy to reduce stress and promote better mental health.
