The current study assessed forgiveness (positive forgiveness and reduced unforgiveness), self-consciousness (rumination and reflection), and physical and mental health. The aim of the study was to check if self-consciousness mediates the relationship between dispositional forgiveness and health.
To address this link, we conducted 2 studies ( = 484 in Study 1 and = 249 in Study 2). Data were collected separately for Study 1, as well as Study 2. We used in both studies the Heartland Forgiveness Scale and the Rumination-Reflection Questionnaire, and additionally, the General Health Questionnaire-28 in Study 1 and the Scales of Psychological Well-Being in Study 2.
The results indicated that rumination was an effective mediator between positive forgiveness and mental health (B = 0.14, CI = [0.064, 0.234]), reduced unforgiveness and physical health (B = -0.13, CI = [-0.182, -0.088]), and both rumination and reflection between reduced unforgiveness and mental health (B = 0.13 CI = [0.051, 0.226]), positive forgiveness (B = -0.09 CI = [-0.135, -0.052]), and physical health.
The mediating role of ruminations was more frequently observed in females. The study highlighted the indirect effect between forgiveness and health. Rumination and reflection are mediators between forgiveness and health.
本研究评估了宽恕（积极的宽恕和减少的不宽恕）、自我意识（反刍和反思）以及身心健康。本研究的目的是检查自我意识是否在性格宽恕与健康之间的关系中起中介作用。
为了研究这一关系，我们进行了两项研究（第一项研究中 n=484，第二项研究中 n=249）。数据是分别为第一项研究和第二项研究收集的。在这两项研究中，我们都使用了“心地宽恕量表”和“反刍反思问卷”，此外，在第一项研究中还使用了“一般健康问卷-28”，在第二项研究中使用了“心理幸福感量表”。
结果表明，反刍是积极宽恕与心理健康之间（B=0.14，CI=[0.064，0.234]）、减少的不宽恕与身体健康之间（B=-0.13，CI=[0.182，0.088]）以及减少的不宽恕与心理健康之间（B=0.13，CI=[0.051，0.226]）、积极宽恕（B=-0.09，CI=[0.135，-0.052]）和身体健康的有效中介。
反刍的中介作用在女性中更为常见。该研究强调了宽恕与健康之间的间接效应。反刍和反思是宽恕与健康之间的中介因素。
