Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between forgiveness and psychological wellbeing with mediating role of positive and negative affects in Shahid Chamran University students. The population in this study was all of the students who were studing in 1388-89 academic year. Among these 352 students were selected using multi-stage random sampling method. The research instruments were Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS), Positive Affect and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), and Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS). The proposed model of the relationships between variables was tested using structural equation modeling. The fit indices indicated that the proposed model was fit with data. Other results revealed that forgiveness had relationship with psychological well-being directly, and indirectly through positive affect. There was no indirect relationship between forgiveness and psychological well-being through negative affect.
