This study examined the effects of Growth-Writing designed to supplement the limitations of Expressive Writing on forgiveness and subjective well-being. 92 students were randomly assigned to 3 groups: Growth-Writing(n=31), Expressive Writing(n=30), Control(n=31). Participants completed the EFI, PANAS, and SWLS before writing, and after 3 sessions of writing, they completed the same questionnaires. As a results, the Growth-Writing group showed statistically significant increases in forgiveness compared with the expressive writing and control groups. Both writing groups exhibited a significant improvement on the scores of the subjective well-being compared with control. However, both writing groups made no differences unexpectedly. The results of study revealed that both Growth-Writing and Expressive Writing offer superior benefits to writer’s the subjective well-being, and especially Growth-Writing was an effective method to the scores of the forgiveness. Implications for research on the effects of the Growth-Writhing are discussed.
