“…Our results are confirmed by the results of research by other scholars. Hall et al (2020) confirm that self-forgiveness is correlated positively with life satisfaction, while Thompson et al (2005) have shown that willingness to self-forgive plays an important role in turning a negative experience into a positive one.…”

The article considers an important and topical issue in the form of the willingness to self-forgive in young students. The concepts of psychological well-being, forgiveness, and self-forgiveness are considered. The peculiarities of the connection between psychological well-being and willingness to self-forgive in the case of young students are determined. Much attention is paid to the factors of psychological well-being. The study involved 228 people – young students, aged between 20 and 23 years, in the form of 109 men and 119 women. Empirical research was based on the following psychodiagnostic techniques: Flourishing Measure, Hardiness Test, Scale of Psychological Well-being, the Trait Forgivingness (dispositional) Scale, Mental Health Outcome Measures, Scale of Deep Readiness for Forgiveness, Depression and Anxiety (BSI – 12). The high level of willingness to self-forgive in young students is connected with high levels of hardiness and psychological well-being. The high level of willingness to self-forgive in young students is connected with low levels of anxiety and depression. It is indicated that the willingness to self-forgive is a predictor of psychological well-being in young students. The more university students are prone to willingness to self-forgive, the more they are satisfied with self-realization in specific living conditions and circumstances, with the achievement of meaningful goals, and with positive relationships with other people. The more young university students are ready for self-forgiveness, the more they are capable of reflection, the realization of their potential, the effective use of personal traits, self-acceptance, meaningful life, and being more satisfied with relationships with other people.

“…The results of an empirical study by Levi-Belz and Gilo (2020) showed that a low level of self-forgiveness is associated with the highest degree of suicidal behavior. Finally, Hall, Webb and Hirsch (2020) believe that self-forgiveness is the most important protective factor when it comes to suicidal behavior.…”

“…Similarly, Dangel and Webb (2017) further found that all three dimensions of spirituality were associated with lower psychache (psychological pain) in college students. While Hall et al (2020) found that higher existential spirituality was associated with lower suicidal behaviors in a community sample, they did not find a significant relationship between ritualistic and theistic spirituality and suicidal behaviors.…”

“…Webb et al (2014) suggested the intentional framing of spirituality as having those different dimensions as useful in reducing the problem of having a religious versus spiritual dichotomy. They also suggested that using the term “ritualistic spirituality” instead of “religious spirituality” helped separate negative feelings toward the term “religion.” This multidimensional assessment of spirituality has been utilized in multiple studies in the U.S. (Chang et al, 2016; Dangel & Webb, 2017; Hall et al, 2020). For example, Chang et al (2016) found that higher ritualistic, theistic, and existential spirituality were associated with lower depressive symptoms in college students.…”

Body dissatisfaction is a notable concern among college students. Spirituality and selfcompassion have been associated with body satisfaction, but minimal research has examined all three of those relationships. Therefore, we examined the relationship among spirituality, self-compassion, and body satisfaction. Participants included 307 college students (70.4% women; 71.3% White; 50.2% Christian) who completed online questionnaires on three types of spirituality (ritualistic, theistic, and existential), selfcompassion, body satisfaction, and other related variables to spirituality (participating in intensive outdoor programs and/or as an athlete). Ritualistic spirituality was correlated with higher self-compassion, but there was not a significant correlation among theistic/ existential spirituality and self-compassion. There was also not a significant correlation among the three types of spirituality and body satisfaction, but self-compassion was strongly correlated with body satisfaction. However, individuals who had high ritualistic spirituality had significantly higher levels of self-compassion and body satisfaction than individuals with low ritualistic spirituality. Individuals who participated in at least one intensive outdoor program had significantly higher existential spirituality and selfcompassion than those who did not participate. Athletes had significantly higher selfcompassion and body satisfaction than nonathletes. Men had higher self-compassion than women, but there were no other gender differences. Spirituality and self-compassion could be potential targets for improving body satisfaction; however, further research is needed to examine the causality of those relationships.

“…Spirituality and selfcare that connect individuals to themselves as well as activities that connect individuals to others and their physical environment, such as caregiving and housekeeping, may reduce negative mood symptoms and fatigue during a COVID lockdown. Spirituality Spirituality has been a protective factor against mental health problems including anger (Sigurvinsdottir et al, 2021), anxiety (Tolentino et al, 2022), suicidal behaviors (Hall et al, 2020), and demoralization (Ghiggia et al, 2021). Public Affairs Research reported that 12% of U.S. residents polled in October 2021 claimed to be religious and spiritual and 28% identified as spiritual but not religious (Brady, 2021).…”

ResearchArticle IJPRR (2022) 5:64 Spirituality in Adults During a COVID-19 Lockdown Spirituality and self-care have been associated with life satisfaction and health throughout the COVID literature but rarely as protective factors against psychological symptoms of stress, depression, and fatigue. The current study examined the relationships between spirituality, self-care, work, and the psychological problems of stress, depression and fatigue in the COVID-19 Lockdown Activities Survey archival database (N = 260 participants). Feelings of spirituality were reported by 72% of the study participants. Correlation analyses and ANOVAs revealed that spirituality was associated with self-care, caregiving and housekeeping and negatively correlated with stress, depression and fatigue The results suggested that spirituality may buffer negative mental health symptoms associated with COVID-19. The generalizability of these findings is limited by the homogeneity of the sample that is predominantly comprised of white, non-Hispanic women. Nonetheless, the results highlight the importance of including spirituality in psychological interventions for stress, depression, and fatigue.
