Forgiveness and mental health variables: Interpreting the relationship using an adaptational-continuum model of personality and coping (2004, background): “This finding suggests that these forgiveness measures are part of a wider neuroticism dimension and is consistent with previous studies that have emphasised the importance of the neuroticism dimension to forgiveness (Ashton et al., 1998; Maltby et al., 2001; Walker & Gorsuch, 2002).”

Self-forgiveness versus excusing: The roles of remorse, effort, and acceptance of responsibility (2006, background): “Studies suggest that a propensity to self-forgive is linked with greater well-being, including high self-esteem (Mauger, Perry, Freemand, Grove, McBride, & McKinney, 1992 ), positive emotions (Ross et al, 2004 ), a lack of shame (Tangney & Boone, 2004 ), low neuroticism (Ross et al, 2004 ), and ”
Self-Forgiveness and Restoration of an Offender Following an Interpersonal Transgression (2013, background): “Initial research into self-forgiveness has suggested that failure to self-forgive is associated with individual psychopathology, including higher neuroticism, higher depression, higher anxiety, and general lower health scores (Maltby et al., 2001).”
Dispositional forgiveness of self, others, and situations. (2005, background): “The HFS was expected to correlate negatively with a measure of hostile thinking because forgiveness has demonstrated a negative relationship with anger (Maltby et al., 2001; Mauger et al., 2001; Tangney et al., 1999).”
THE TEMPORAL COURSE OF SELF-FORGIVENESS (2008, unknown): “atively associated with neuroticism, depression, anxiety, and hostility (Coates, 1997; Leach & Lark, 2004; Maltby, Macaskill, & Day, 2001; Mauger et al., 1992).”
Differentiating Dispositional Self-Forgiveness from Other-Forgiveness: Associations with Mental Health and Life Satisfaction (2012, background): “Psychometric studies on the relationship between forgiveness and health suggest that unforgivingness is associated with poorer mental health and lower life satisfaction (Coates, 1997; Maltby et al., 2001; Mauger et al., 1992).”
Angry memories and thoughts of revenge: The relationship between forgiveness and anger rumination (2005, background): “(Karremans, Van Lange, Ouwerkerk, & Kluwer, 2003; Maltby et al., 2001 ).”
