Calm in the storm: The influence of spirituality, dispositional forgiveness, and God concept on anxiety

Abstract

Anxiety is a ubiquitous problem in our society from which many suffer. The purpose of this study was to consider how spirituality, dispositional forgiveness, and God concept together informed an individual’s level of anxiety. Results suggested that forgiveness had a significant influence on anxiety and that the shared variance between God concept and forgiveness may warrant future study. Implications for therapists are provided.
