Bu çalışmanın temel amacı yetişkinlerde affetme, ruminatif düşünceler ve yaşam doyumu arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Yetişkinlerde affetme ve ruminatif düşüncelerin yaşam doyumu üzerindeki yordayıcı etkisinin incelenmesi bir diğer araştırma problemidir. Araştırmanın örneklemini 2024 yılında yetişkinler arasından rastlantısal olarak seçilen 477 katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. 24 uç değerin veri grubundan çıkarılması sonucu 453 katılımcının verileriyle analiz işlemine geçilmiştir. Bu araştırmada elde edilen veriler, Heartland Affedicilik Ölçeği, Ruminatif Düşünce Biçimi Ölçeği, Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği ve Sosyodemografik Bilgi Formu kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Veriler, SPSS 25.0 paket programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan korelasyon analizi sonuçlarına göre, affetme ve ruminatif düşünce arasında orta düzeyde, negatif yönde ve anlamlı bir ilişki; affetme ve yaşam doyumu arasında orta düzeyde, pozitif yönde ve anlamlı bir ilişki; ruminatif düşünce ve yaşam doyumu arasında ise zayıf düzeyde, negatif yönde ve anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Çoklu regresyon analizi sonucunda, ruminatif düşünce ve affetme yordayıcı değişkenleri birlikte, yaşam doyumu puanlarındaki toplam varyansın %11'ini anlamlı bir şekilde açıklamaktadır. Affetme, bireylerin yaşam doyumunu pozitif ve anlamlı bir şekilde yordayan bir faktördür. Bununla birlikte, ruminatif düşüncenin affetme üzerinde anlamlı bir yordayıcı etkisi gözlemlenmemiştir.
