“…Similarly, Romero and Mitchell (2008) found forgiveness to increase among aging Roman Catholic women. However, the effect of age on forgiveness was not found among Kuwaiti citizens ( Ahmed et al., 2007 ) and Spanish adults ( Gismero-González et al., 2019 ).…”

“…A similar mediating role of forgiveness for wellbeing as the outcome variable has been previously shown. Tendency to forgive mediated in the relationship between religious struggle and satisfaction with life (Zarzycka, 2019 ), between marital adjustment, life satisfaction, and happiness (Kermani Mamazandi et al, 2020 ), and between real-life interpersonal hurts and psychological wellbeing (Gismero-González et al, 2020 ). Thus, trait forgiveness plays a mediating role in the relationships between different variables and wellbeing, both subjective and psychological.…”

ObjectivesPossible correlations between wisdom and wellbeing among older people have been extensively debated in psychology. At the same time, researchers emphasize that the effect of older adults' wisdom on their wellbeing depends on numerous mediators. A review of the literature suggests that forgiveness might be one such variable. Thus, this study aimed to investigate whether forgiveness mediated the relationship between wisdom and wellbeing in late adulthood.MethodIn total, 481 participants aged from 60 to 92 years (M = 68.84; SD = 6.31) were involved in the study. All older people participating in the study lived independently in their households. Four psychological instruments were used: (1) the Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale; (2) the Heartland Forgiveness Scale; (3) the Psychological Wellbeing Scale; and (4) the Satisfaction with Life Scale. Therefore, the measurement of the analyzed variables was self-reported.ResultsThe results showed that forgiveness mediated the relationships between wisdom and wellbeing in the older population. The indirect effects demonstrated that forgiveness mediated the relationships between wisdom and wellbeing. Wisdom related to higher forgiveness (β = 0.21; p < 0.01), which, in turn, was related to a higher level of psychological (β = 0.48; p < 0.01) and subjective (β = 0.36; p < 0.01) wellbeing.ConclusionThese findings suggest that forgiveness is an important element of wisdom and wellbeing. The greater the wisdom the participants showed, the stronger the tendency to forgive and the better wellbeing they reported.

“…El término perdón ha sido estudiado desde diferentes perspectivas, entre ellas: la religiosa, la psicológica, la legal, la educativa, la filosófica y la antropológica. Desde finales del siglo XX se han incrementado notablemente los estudios psicológicos del perdón que explicitan un modo específico de desarrollar respuestas positivas, entre los que se encuentran el realizado por Gismero- González et al (2020), el de Rosales-Sarabia et al (2017), o el de Wade & Worthington (2003). Otros autores como Mullet (2011), lo han abordado como elemento esencial en las terapias maritales.…”

El perdón ha sido estudiado en los últimos años desde diferentes perspectivas. El interés en este tema se explica por la necesidad de abordar estrategias de desarrollo personal e interpersonal. Si bien, las aproximaciones que se han hecho son insuficientes para una comprensión del perdón en toda su hondura. Por ello, el objetivo de este artículo es mostrar el fundamento antropológico del perdón desde Hannah Arendt y Leonardo Polo, así como las repercusiones educativas que tiene esta virtud en el crecimiento personal. El perdón, entendido como virtud, cobra especial relevancia y se destaca que no es únicamente un acto reparador, sino también regenerador de la persona. Se realiza una búsqueda bibliográfica de los principales autores contemporáneos que lo comprenden así, asumiendo ambas dimensiones del perdón -reparador y regenerador-, entre los que se encuentran Paul Ricoeur, Jacques Derrida y Emmanuel Levinas. El trabajo profundiza en la propuesta de Hannah Arendt y en la antropología trascendental de Leonardo Polo por el interés de sus aportaciones al respecto y las repercusiones de carácter educativo que sugieren, en concreto, en torno al desarrollo personal con la adquisición de la virtud. En definitiva, el pensamiento de ambos autores sugiere la concepción del perdón como una virtud que contribuye al crecimiento personal y favorece las relaciones interpersonales.
