Abstract

This study looks at the relationship between forgiveness and psychological well-being of Christians from protestant churches in Jakarta. Many individuals find it difficult to forgive offenders who hurt them, even though the tendency to forgive has been proven to have a positive effect on well-being [1]. This research is a quantitative correlational research. The measuring instrument used was Transgression Related Interpersonal Motivations Inventory (TRIM-18) by Agita Nova Purba who adapted from McCullough, Root, and Cohen [2] and Psychological Well-Being (PWB) questionnaire from the Department of Research and Measurement in the Faculty of Psychology at Universitas Tarumanagara. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The subjects in this study were 267 Christians in young adulthood and middle adulthood age 20 - 65 years. The results showed that there was a significant negative relationship between forgiveness and psychological well-being (r = - 0.327 and p = 0.000 <0.05). However, a negative relationship is interpreted to the contrary, namely as positive.
