摘要

Previous research has established associations between forgiveness, anger, and well-being, but few studies have explored the mechanisms linking interpersonal forgiveness, anger rumination, and flourishing. Understanding how interpersonal forgiveness enhances flourishing through psychological mechanisms is critical for advancing theory and informing interventions. To address this gap, this study examined the mediating role of anger rumination and the moderating role of perceived social support. Data from 530 participants revealed that higher levels of interpersonal forgiveness were associated with reduced anger rumination (B = - 1.31, p < .05), which in turn predicted elevated levels of flourishing (B = − 0.12, p < .001), the indirect effect accounted for 37.82% of the total variance, and perceived social support significantly moderated this relationship. In conclusion, individuals who demonstrate higher levels of interpersonal forgiveness are likely to experience reduced anger rumination, which subsequently contributes to greater flourishing. Additionally, the presence of strong perceived social support further protect the flourishing though weaken the role of anger rumination. These findings offer new insights for interventions aimed at enhancing well-being through forgiveness and perceived social support.
