Abstract

Fifty-two adults were assessed using the Heartland Forgiveness Survey. The HFS is a self-report scale measuring situational, self, and other forgiveness. Results showed older adults were more likely to forgive themselves or the situation vs. others; while younger adults were more likely to forgive others vs. the situation or themselves.
