We have partnered with UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center to provide you with these scientific facts. Click on an item below to expand and reveal more.

Forgiveness improves our health

When we hold onto grudges, our blood pressure and heart rate spike; when we forgive, our stress levels drop.

Forgiveness makes us happier

Research suggests that if you forgive someone today, you’ll feel happier tomorrow.

Forgiveness is good for relationships (most of the time)

Spouses who are more forgiving and less vindictive are better at resolving conflicts and have stronger, more satisfying relationships. However, when more forgiving spouses are frequently mistreated by their partner, they become less satisfied with their marriage.

Forgiveness is associated with kindness

Forgiving people are more likely to want to volunteer and donate money to charity, and they feel more connected to other people in general.

Forgiveness can help heal the wounds of war

A research-based forgiveness training program in Rwanda, for instance, was linked to reduced trauma and more positive attitudes between the Hutus and Tutsis there.
