This study investigated the relationship between psychological resilience, forgiveness, and the perception of God and their correlation. The research was conducted using the relational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods. The sample of the study consisted of adult individuals. A total of 549 people—316 women and 233 men—participated in the research. “Tendency to Forgive Scale”, “Heartland Forgiveness Scale (Self Forgiveness)”, “Brief Resilience Scale”, and “God Perception Scale” were used as data collection tools in the research. The data obtained within the scope of the research was analyzed using the SPSS (Version 25) program. The findings of the research provide evidence that the love and fear of God among women are reported to be higher than among men. The study also shows there is a positive correlation between income and love and fear of God, which means the lower the income is, the lower the fear and love of God. Marital status and age have also been reported to influence the level of forgiveness. The study demonstrates that religiosity is another factor that is positively correlated with forgiveness. The level of forgiveness is comparatively higher in individuals who identify themselves as religious; it has been found that love of God and fear of God are associated with forgiveness. It has been revealed that there is a significant relationship between psychological resilience, self-forgiveness, and God perception. In other words, self-forgiveness and positive God perception contribute to psychological resilience.
