The present study investigated the relationship between religious faith and forgiveness in a sample (n = 196) of college students. Students were asked to complete the Heartland Forgiveness Scale and the Santa Clara Strength of Religious Faith Questionnaire. Analyses of scores on both measures revealed a positive, significant correlation between these constructs, suggesting that there is a meaningful relationship between religious faith and the tendency to forgive. Implications and directions for further research are discussed.

This article was designed for instructors in such settings who desire to teach positive psychology, but do not have access to a course specifically on this topic or for those who already teach a positive psychology course but desire to implement positive psychology topics into other psychology courses as well. Although the recommendations in this article are not exhaustive in terms of covering all psychology courses and all aspects of positive psychology that have applications to these courses, the material provided should stimulate thinking about the various ways in which positive psychology can be infused into courses that are not entirely dedicated to the topic.
