Self-forgiveness has been conceptualized as a coping strategy that may improve health and well-being. To better understand the functions of self-forgiveness, this meta-analysis examines the correlates of self-forgiveness associated with physical and mental health. For physical health, across 18 samples and 5,653 participants, the correlation was .32. For psychological well-being, across 65 samples and 17,939 participants, the correlation was .45. To augment this primary focus on physical and mental health correlates, we estimated the relationships between self-forgiveness and specific mental health constructs and relationship outcomes. Implications for future basic and applied research on self-forgiveness are discussed.
自我宽恕已被概念化为一种可能改善健康和幸福的应对策略。为了更好地理解自我宽恕的功能，本荟萃分析考察了与身心健康相关的自我宽恕的关联因素。对于身体健康，在18个样本和5653名参与者中，相关性为0.32。对于心理健康，在65个样本和17939名参与者中，相关性为0.45。为了强化对身心健康关联因素的这一主要关注，我们估计了自我宽恕与特定心理健康构念及关系结果之间的关系。文中还讨论了对未来自我宽恕基础研究和应用研究的启示。
