Abstract

A variety of psychological issues, including increased stress, anxiety, depression, and adjustment issues, are common among university students. They might experience unfamiliar circumstances and struggle with issues related to their life orientation, anxiety, and sense of self or self-esteem. They also face some decisions and difficult circumstances that determine their life orientation. One of them is the ability to forgive. Therefore, this research aims to present an analysis of the relationship between self-esteem, anxiety, life orientation, and forgiveness among students at university. The research subjects consisted of 89 university students aged 20 to 26 years. Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale was used to gauge the degree of self-esteem. The Generalised Anxiety Disorder Self-Report Scale was used to measure anxiety. The Enright Forgiveness Inventory-30 was used to measure forgiveness between people, and the Life Orientation Scale was used to measure life orientation. The results showed significant correlations between self-esteem, anxiety, life orientation and forgiveness. Self-esteem is a significant predictor of forgiveness among students. The implications of the study were also discussed.
