Keywords:
psychological well-being, emotional maturity, forgiveness relationAbstract
The purpose of this research was to discover how psychological well-being influences emotional maturity, trust and forgiveness in adults. Adults between the ages of 18 and 40 were recruited for the research. The study's overall sample included 100 people from Kerala's Malappuram District. Psychological well-being is a multi-faceted concept that refers to people's ability to successfully carry out psychological activities. Adults who can forgive others for hurting their sentiments might have a positive psychological influence. Trust is needed to balance every relationship thereby promoting psychological well-being. Individuals who have acquired emotional maturity have the capacity to manage their emotions, think rationally, comprehend themselves, and express emotions when and when they are appropriate. Results showed that emotional maturity and forgiveness and trust are needed to foster psychological well-being among adults. Gender disparities in psychological well-being, emotional maturity, forgiveness, and trust were also discovered in the study.
