Abstract	This research paper investigates the relationship between forgiveness, emotional regulation, and resilience in young adults facing adversity. Forgiveness is conceptualized as a deliberate and voluntary process of freeing oneself from negative emotions towards the person who has caused harm. Emotional regulation refers to the ability to manage and regulate one's emotions effectively, while resilience is defined as the ability to overcome adversity and maintain psychological well-being in challenging circumstances. The study employs a correlational research design and utilizes three main tools: the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), the Nicholson McBride Resilience Questionnaire (NMRQ), and the Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS). A sample of 100 young adults aged 18 to 25 years is randomly selected to ensure representation across diverse demographics. The results indicate a significant moderate positive relationship between forgiveness and resilience, supporting the hypothesis that forgiveness contributes to resilience in young adults. However, the correlation between forgiveness and emotional regulation is found to be non-significant, suggesting that forgiveness may directly enhance resilience independent of its effects on emotional regulation. Emotional regulation emerges as a significant factor contributing to resilience, highlighting its importance in fostering psychological adaptation and coping mechanisms in the face of adversity among young adults. These findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge in positive psychology and inform interventions aimed at promoting forgiveness and resilience in individuals and communities facing adversity.
