TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Forgiveness, health, and problematic drinking among college students in Southern Appalachia JO - Journal of health psychology A1 - Webb, Jon R. A1 - Brewer, Kevin SP - 1257 EP - 1266 VL - 15 IS - 8 N2 - Evidence is growing regarding the salutary relationships between spirituality and health, including alcohol problems, yet little is known about spirituality and health in the context thereof. Cross-sectional associations between forgiveness and health were examined among college student problematic drinkers (n = 126; female symbol = 60%; Mage = 22) in Southern Appalachia. Controlling for demographic variables (including religiosity), dimensions of forgiveness accounted for 7-33 percent of the variance in the health-related variables in a salutary fashion. Forgiveness of Self appears to be the most important dimension of forgiveness measured, yet the most difficult to develop.
