Psychological Abuse and Health: What Role Does Forgiveness Play?

More forgiveness-particularly Absence of Negativity-was related to less abuse received from their partner, and this effect was stronger for females than for males. Absence of Negativity (AN) was predictive of health variables (psychosomatic sympto… more
