“…The findings lend support to the idea that faith and maturity may prevent angry sentiments towards God by more frequently choosing to forgive abusers, which helps to explain why people who feel furious towards God are nonetheless able to experience well-being. (Skalski-Bednarz et al, 2022)…”

Forgiveness is currently being researched in various settings, which requires that scientists to have instruments with psychometric properties suitable for its evaluation. The objective of this article is to identify, select, and critically analyze psychometric research on forgiveness to identify its trends, limitations, and contributions to science. The method used was based on the PRISMA 2020 Statement and the Scopus, Web of Science, Ebsco, Proquest, Scielo, and Dialnet databases from 2017 to 2022 were consulted. Fourteen out of 334,339 studies met the inclusion criteria. The results evidence that 79% used nonprobability sampling, 21% reported the construction of new instruments, and 36% obtained evidence of metric invariance. Peru and Chile lead the psychometric production of forgiveness (both with 21.4%) followed by the United States, Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina, which share an equal 14.3%. Implications of the findings have been discussed.

BackgroundReligiousness has been consistently linked to positive health outcomes and flourishing, yet the underlying mechanisms are complex and not well-understood. The forgiveness and relational spirituality model offers a framework to explore the moderated mediation among religious commitment, health, and forgiveness by God. Understanding these relationships among university students and community residents in Trinidad and Tobago can provide valuable insights into the role of religiousness in promoting wellbeing.Materials and methodsThis cross-sectional study involved 254 religious Afro-Trinidadians aged 18–78 from Trinidad and Tobago. Participants completed measures assessing religious commitment, proneness to guilt/shame, forgiveness by God, and health outcomes. Modeling using 5,000 bootstrap confidence intervals was used to analyze the hypothesized associations among variables.ResultsA significant positive relationship between religious commitment and health encompassed both physical and mental aspects. Feeling forgiven by God mediated the link between religious commitment and health outcomes (B = 0.019; SE = 0.007; 95% CI = 0.007, 0.034; R2 = 0.12). Proneness to guilt or shame moderated the association between religious commitment and forgiveness by God. This relationship was significant primarily among individuals with high levels of proneness to guilt (B = 0.075, SE = 0.019, p < 0.001) and shame (B = 0.074, SE = 0.018, p < 0.001).ConclusionsThis study highlights the importance of religiousness in promoting human flourishing among Afro-Trinidadians residing in Trinidad and Tobago. Religious commitment and forgiveness by God were effective resilience resources that contributed to positive health outcomes. However, the nuanced role of proneness to guilt or shame underscores the need for a deeper understanding of individual differences in emotional responses within religious contexts. Future longitudinal research is warranted to elucidate the dynamic nature of these relationships and inform targeted interventions aimed at enhancing wellbeing in religious communities.
