This study carried on the exploration of an association between forgiveness and symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger-hostility, and somatization; between forgiveness and self-esteem, and between forgiveness and severity of abuse. The participants were 60 psychologically, physically, and sexually-abused females, at least 18 years old, residing in and/or receiving services from two battered women's shelters, one domestic violence agency, two homeless shelters, and four transitional housing organizations in Illinois and Wisconsin. All participants completed on a one-time basis a demographic information questionnaire, modified Enright Forgiveness Inventory (EFI), Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, and abbreviated Symptom Checklist (SCL-90) including the Depression, Anxiety, Anger-Hostility, and Somatization subscales. The results showed significant correlations between the measures of forgiveness, depression, and anxiety and between forgiveness and self-esteem, suggesting that the more forgiveness the abuse survivors have, the less symptoms and higher self-esteem they possess. Additionally, the results showed no significant correlations between anger-hostility, somatization, and the overall severity of trauma that could be either characteristic of the idiosyncratic features of this sample, or attenuated by skewed results. Further analysis revealed a significant association between forgiveness and less physical abuse and less frequent abuse. The findings are consistent with current experimental and correlational research studies indicating positive associations of forgiveness with some aspects of abuse survivors' adjustment and overall mental health.
