Forgiveness And Gratitude: A Comparative Study On Young Adults (18- 30 Years) And Middle-Aged Adults (31-50 Years)

Abstract

This study looks at the complicated link between forgiving and being thankful in two different age groups: young people (18–30 years old) and middle-aged adults (31–50 years old). Forgiveness, which means letting go of bad feelings toward someone who has hurt us, and thankfulness, which means showing love for the good things in life as well as the kindness for others, are both important for mental health and getting along with others. The study looks at how personality traits, socioeconomic status, religious views, and past interactions with others that were either mean or nice affect how people of different ages feel about and show forgiveness and thanks. In addition, the study looks at the psychological effects, social interactions, and developmental aspects of being thankful and forgiving. This study compares these feelings between young adults and middle-aged adults in order to learn more about how forgiveness and gratitude change over time and to help come up with ways to make people more emotionally strong and their relationships healthier throughout their lives.
