Predicting depression by ACEs score, forgiveness dimensions, and their interactions
| Moderator | Main effect of ACEs | Main effect of forgiveness dimensions | Interaction | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coef (SE) | t | Coef (SE) | t | Coef (SE) | t | |
| Self-forgiveness | 1.52 (.30) | 5.12*** | –3.51 (.29) | –12.08*** | –.25 (.32) | –0.79 |
| Forgiveness of others | 1.92 (.33) | 5.79*** | –1.24 (.34) | –3.64*** | .52 (.24) | 2.16* |
| Forgiveness of situations | 1.67 (.30) | 5.60*** | –3.35 (.30) | –11.33*** | .11 (.31) | 0.35 |
Note. ACEs – adverse childhood experiences. For each analysis ACEs, the respective forgiveness dimension, and the interaction between those two variables predicted symptoms of depression. Significant variables in the first two columns indicate significant main effects. Moderation was indicated by a significant interaction. *p < .05, ***p < .001.
