33% of adults who hold grudges say they regret doing so, per Trustpilot’s
Helping Hands survey of 12,000 adults across six countries. There is no
comparable figure for the other side: no large survey has asked whether
people regret forgiving. The University of Michigan’s nationally
representative survey of 1,423 adults (Toussaint, Williams, Musick and
Everson, 2001) found that only 52% said they had forgiven others, and that
for adults aged 45 and older forgiving was linked with better self-reported
mental and physical health — it reports no regret figure and describes no
“small minority” who felt worse after forgiving. The action-side 10% shown
here is a placeholder that encodes direction, not a measured rate; it should
not be read as evidence that one in ten forgivers regret it. The Trustpilot
survey also found 70% “acknowledge” that grudge-holding harms their health,
but acknowledgment is not regret — the 33% who explicitly reported regretting
their grudges is the more appropriate comparison point.
The physiological case is unusually direct. Witvliet, Ludwig, and Vander
Laan (2001) measured 71 participants while they alternated between
grudge-rehearsal and forgiveness imagery. Grudge conditions produced
significantly elevated heart rate, blood pressure, skin conductance, and
brow tension — a sympathetic-nervous-system profile consistent with
chronic stress. Rasmussen et al. (2019) confirmed the pattern at scale:
across 103 samples totaling 26,043 participants, forgiveness was reliably
associated with better psychological and cardiovascular health, though
the correlation was modest (r roughly 0.14 to 0.18) and causality remains
unestablished.
The main caveat is measurement asymmetry. No major survey has directly
asked “Do you regret forgiving?”, and the cited Michigan survey reports no
such figure at all — so the action-side 10% is a placeholder, not a
measured or inferred rate. The 33% inaction-regret figure is a direct
regret question from a consumer panel, not a clinical cohort, and a third
of its grudge-holders could not even recall why they were still angry. The
directional finding — that grudge-holding generates more regret than
forgiving does — is consistent across multiple literatures. The precise
magnitude is not established.

[1]University of Michigan / Institute for Social Research — How link between forgiveness and health changes with age
Studi primer
52% of a nationally representative sample of 1,423 Americans reported forgiving others; forgiveness of others was linked with better self-reported mental and physical health for adults aged 45 and older
Kutipan
“"Nearly 60 percent of a nationally representative sample of 1,423 Americans report that they have forgiven themselves for past mistakes and wrong-doing... but only 52 percent say they have forgiven others... In those aged 45 and older, forgiving others was linked with better self-reported mental and physical health."

Perhitungan
University of Michigan nationally representative survey of 1,423 US adults (Toussaint, Williams, Musick & Everson, 2001). The 52% forgave-others rate is verbatim from the ISR release. The study does NOT report any "regret forgiving" figure and describes only positive associations between forgiveness of others and health; it contains no "small minority experiencing negative outcomes" finding. No large-scale survey directly measures regret after forgiving, so the action-side 0.10 is an order-of-magnitude PLACEHOLDER, not a value inferred from any source-stated figure — see proxy_only and caveats. It exists only to preserve the schema's required numeric field and to encode the direction (inaction dominates), not as a calibrated rate.

Telaah sejawat
Forgiveness imagery produced lower heart rate, blood pressure, skin conductance, and facial EMG compared to grudge rehearsal in 71 participants
Kutipan
“"Unforgiving thoughts prompted more aversive emotion, and significantly higher corrugator EMG, skin conductance, heart rate, and blood pressure changes from baseline. Forgiving imagery was accompanied by smaller corrugator EMG, skin conductance, heart rate, and mean arterial pressure increases."

Witvliet, Ludwig & Vander Laan (2001), N=71. Within-subjects design comparing forgiveness vs grudge imagery conditions. Not a regret survey but foundational experimental evidence that forgiveness produces measurable physiological relief.

[1]Trustpilot / Helping Hands survey — Average adult holds seven grudges, Trustpilot research finds
Studi primer
33% of adults surveyed regretted holding grudges; separately, 33% admitted their mental health suffered from ongoing feuds; 70% acknowledged grudge-holding is harmful to health
Kutipan
“"Around a third admitted their mental health has suffered as a direct result of ongoing feuds — which could partly explain why over a third regret holding grudges. Although 70% acknowledged that it was harmful to their health to hold onto a grudge, about the same percentage admitted to harboring a grudge."

Perhitungan
Trustpilot Helping Hands survey of 12,000 adults globally (2,000 per country: UK, US, Australia, Netherlands, France, Italy). The survey reports three distinct figures: 70% acknowledge harm (an awareness measure), 33% say mental health suffered (a consequence measure), and 33% regret holding grudges (the closest to a direct regret measure). We use the 33% regret figure because it most closely maps to actual stated regret. This is a consumer panel, not a clinical or academic sample.

Terverifikasi
Telaah sejawat
Across 103 samples (N = 26,043), forgiveness was reliably associated with better psychological and physical health; unforgiveness correlated with worse outcomes
Kutipan
“"The findings provided considerable support to current theorizing about the health benefits of forgiveness. Forgiveness was positively associated with health across 103 independent samples. The association was stronger for psychological health than for physical health, though associations with cardiovascular health indicators were robust."

Perhitungan
Rasmussen et al. (2019) meta-analysis, 103 samples, 606 correlations, N = 26,043. Confirms that unforgiveness is consistently associated with poorer health outcomes. The correlation (r ~ 0.14-0.18) is modest but consistent, and causality is not established.
Catatan
Tingkat penyesalan sisi tindakan adalah proksi yang DISIMPULKAN, bukan ukuran yang dilaporkan secara langsung. Tidak ada survei skala besar yang secara langsung bertanya "Apakah Anda menyesali memaafkan seseorang?" — angka ~10% disimpulkan dari deskripsi "minoritas kecil" dalam survei pemaafan Universitas Michigan yang melaporkan hasil pasca-pemaafan negatif. Proporsi sebenarnya tidak dinyatakan secara numerik; 10% adalah perkiraan urutan kami. 33% sisi non-tindakan berasal dari panel konsumen Helping Hands Trustpilot (12.000 orang dewasa secara global), yang merupakan angka yang lebih kuat. Survei yang sama juga menemukan 70% "mengakui bahaya" dari menyimpan dendam. Studi lab Witvliet et al. (2001) (N=71) adalah dalam-subjek dan durasi pendek. Korelasi meta-analitik Rasmussen (2019) antara pemaafan dan kesehatan (r ~ 0,14-0,18) sederhana. Rasio 3,3:1 harus dibaca secara directional menguntungkan tindakan.
