“…Forgiving individuals have less anxiety, are more positive towards themselves and their surroundings and may have increased subjective happiness due to being free from pain. Previous studies supporting this view reported that forgiveness directly strengthened the happiness of college students (e.g., Datu, 2014;Osman & Miranda, 2014;Vural Batık et al, 2017). For example, in a model study by Elemo et al 2018, elevating levels of forgiveness of university students increased subjective happiness.…”

“…As seen above, research has dealt with the study variables in pairs; however, there was no study found revealing the serial aspects including all these variables. Additionally, studies present findings that coping humor may increase belongingness (e.g., Hickman & Crossland, 2004;Meyer, 2000); belongingness may strengthen forgiveness (e.g., Barnes Exline, Baumeister, Bushman, Campbell, & Finkel, 2004); and that forgiveness may elevate subjective happiness (e.g., Datu, 2014;Elemo et al, 2018;Osman & Miranda, 2014). When examined in more detail, humor is a mechanism that may unite people by both strengthening connections and improving feelings of belonging to a group (Martin & Ford, 2018).…”

health psychology report • volume 8(3),  original article background Positive psychology plays an important role in strengthening mental health. Nevertheless, the relationships between variables have not been clarified yet. The present study used an undergraduate sample to test a mediation-based model of the cross-sectional association of coping humor with subjective happiness, as serially mediated by belongingness and forgiveness. participants and procedure A total of 306 valid participants (51.6% female and 48.4% male), ranging in age from 18 to 26, completed paper and pencil questionnaires assessing subjective happiness, coping humor, belongingness, and forgiveness. The bootstrapping procedure was used for serial mediation. results The results indicated a significant and positive link among subjective happiness, coping humor, belongingness, and forgiveness. In addition, serial mediation analysis revealed that coping humor was associated with higher belongingness, which was associated with increased forgiveness, which were then associated with more subjective happiness. Therefore, coping humor was indirectly associated with more subjective happiness via belongingness and forgiveness, in a serial fashion. conclusions These findings indicated that coping humor could help university students' belongingness, and improve forgiveness, thereby enhancing their subjective happiness. We suggest possible prevention and intervention programs for increasing subjective happiness among individuals with low coping humor and suggest courses for future inquiry. We also discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings.
