Abstract

Purpose

It appears that spirituality, forgiveness, and self-esteem are important values which transcend human actions. This transversal study aims to observe spirituality, forgiveness, and self-esteem during aging.

Methods

A quantitative protocol was conducted with 206 participants divided into two groups: younger adults (M = 23.05 years old) and older people (M = 73.09 years old). Three tests measured spirituality, forgiveness and self-esteem.

Principal results

Results showed that older people have higher scores than younger adults in spirituality (peace dimension), forgiveness (transcendence and emotional factors) and self-esteem. Moreover, all dimensions of spirituality (peace, mean, faith) were correlated with the transcendence and emotional factors of forgiveness and with self-esteem during aging.

Major conclusion

It seems that with age, individuals have a better self-esteem linked to more pronounced spiritual needs (sense of peace, meaning of life, faith) and manage to forgive more unconditionally with less resentment than younger people.

法国成年期的精神、宽恕和自尊

目的精神、宽恕和自尊似乎是超越人类行为的重要价值观。本横向研究旨在观察老龄化过程中的灵性、宽恕和自尊。方法将 206 名参与者分为两组：年轻成年人（男 = 23.05 岁）和老年人（男 = 73.09 岁）。主要结果结果显示，老年人在灵性（和平维度）、宽恕（超越和情感因素）和自尊方面的得分高于年轻人。主要结论随着年龄的增长，个人的自尊似乎与更明显的精神需求（和平感、生命意义、信仰）有关，并且能够比年轻人更无条件地宽恕他人，怨恨更少。
