The present study aimed to examine the relations of two sides of forgiveness including trait forgiveness and situation-specific forgiveness, adult-attachment consisting of two sub dimensions, and well-being measured with Satisfaction With Life Scale and to examine the moderation effects of adult-attachment on these relations. For this study, the data of 400 college students were analyzed. The research packet included Trait Forgiveness Scale, Korean-Forgiveness Scale, Experiences in Close Relationship Scale-Revised, and Satisfaction With Life Scale. The results showed the followings: 1) the two sides of forgiveness were negatively associated with the two sub dimensions of adult-attachment, namely, attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance, 2) the two sides of forgiveness were positively associated with well-being, 3) the two sub dimensions of adult-attachment were negatively associated with well-being, 4) attachment anxiety moderated the relation between the two sides of forgiveness and well-being. Finally, the implications of these findings and directions for future study were discussed.
