Longitudinal associations of dispositional forgivingness with multidimensional well-being: a two-wave outcome-wide analysis in the Global Flourishing Study.

ABSTRACT: In this preregistered longitudinal study with nationally representative samples from 23 countries in the Global Flourishing Study (N = 207,919), we examine associations between dispositional forgivingness and multidimensional well-being outcomes approximately one year later. Following the analytic template for outcome-wide designs, we conducted a series of country-specific weighted multivariate regression analyses where each Wave 2 outcome was regressed on Wave 1 forgivingness (controlling for Wave 1 sociodemographic and retrospectively recalled childhood variables). Random effects meta-analyses were used to pool country-specific estimates of association for the 56 main outcomes covering psychological, social, physical, volitional, and material dimensions of well-being.
