Abstract: Depression and anxiety symptoms have risen in the last decade, especially among college students. Virtues are potentially strong predictive factors of mental health symptoms, but a minimal amount of research has explored "which" virtues are the strongest predictors. We examined the relative predictive strength of gratitude, forgiveness, patience, intellectual humility, and self-control using dominance analyses. Results suggested that gratitude had the strongest predictive value for lower anxiety and depressive symptom scores compared to forgiveness, intellectual humility, patience, and self-control. An implication of these findings is that when considering intervention work with young emerging adults, researchers may do well to start with gratitude, then promote other virtues such as forgiveness and self-control.
