社会和行为科学家对美德的研究表现出越来越大的兴趣，部分原因是积极心理学的影响。这项研究的基本前提是，采用关键美德可以提高生活质量。与此相一致，本研究的目的是评估随着时间的推移，谦卑和自我宽恕之间的关系。分析围绕三个问题进行。首先，有人提出，年长的黑人比年长的白人更谦虚，年长的黑人比年长的白人更容易原谅自己。第二，假设随着时间的推移，更谦虚的老年人比不那么谦虚的人更有可能原谅自己。第三，更大程度地参与宗教与更大程度的谦卑和更大程度的自我宽恕有关。来自全国范围内老年人纵向调查的数据为所有这些假设提供了支持。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Social and behavioral scientists have shown a growing interest in the study of virtues due, in part, to the influence of positive psychology. The underlying premise in this research is that adopting key virtues promotes a better quality of life. Consistent with this orientation, the purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between humility and self-forgiveness over time. The analyses are organized around three issues. First, it is proposed that older Blacks will be more humble than older Whites and older Blacks will be more likely to forgive themselves than older Whites. Second, it is hypothesized that, over time, more humble older people are more likely to forgive themselves than individuals who are less humble. Third, it is proposed that greater involvement in religion is associated with greater humility and greater self-forgiveness. Data from a nationwide longitudinal survey of older adults provides support for all these hypotheses. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
