Both social acceptance and the desire to not be ignored or rejected is a central source of motivation of a human in their social surroundings. Sensitivity to rejection is therefore a pivotal aspect and predictor of life satisfaction, sharing an inverse relationship with the latter. Yet another aspect that is an essential predictor of a satisfactory life is forgiveness, and the two share a direct relationship, this ability is linked to one’s capacity to accept rejection. Taking the same premises into consideration, the present study aimed targeted to evaluate the alliance between sensitivity towards rejection (rejection sensitivity) and the forgiveness in both unmarried males and females, residing in the area of Delhi-NCR, India. For the same a total number of 70 unmarried people, 35 males and 35 females were chosen between the age range of 20-30 through the process of random sampling. Data was collected using the Heartland Forgiveness Questionnaire (HFS) developed by Thompson et al and Rejection Sensitivity RS-Adult Questionnaire constructed by Berenson et al. Results were computed using mean, standard deviation, and Pearson product-moment correlation. The hypothesis was significant at 0.01 level and it was assessed that forgiveness is negatively correlated with rejection sensitivity.
