Aim: The aim of the study has been to determine the mediating value of gratitude and forgiveness in the relationship between the sense of coher-ence and values-based action. In order to answer the research question, a predictive model of mediating effects has been constructed based on the work of McCullough et al. Material and method. The research has been conducted among 330 individuals aged 18 to 65 years, including 284 women (86.1%) and 46 men (13.9%). The Life Orientation Questionnaire SOC-29 has been used to measure the independent variable of sense of coherence. The mediating variables of gratitude and forgiveness have been examined using the Gratitude Questionnaire GQ by McCullough, Emmons and Tsang and the Transgression-Related Interpersonal Motivation Inventory (TRIM18) by McCullough et al. The dependent variable of values-based action has been measured using the Valuing Ques-tionnaire (VQ) by Smout, Davies, Burns and Christie. The analysis has used SPSS v4.2. and mediation in R and lavaan packages.Results: Gratitude has been shown to mediate the relationship between the sense of coherence and values-based action: the presence of gratitude in an individual’s life strengthens the relationship between the sense of coherence and values-based action. Also, the mediating role of forgiveness has been identified in the relationship between the sense of coherence and values-based actions. The dimensions of revenge and benevolence have been shown to be mediators in the relationship between the sense of coherence and the obstruction dimension of values-based action but have not shown a mediating effect in the relationship between the sense of coherence and the dimension of progress in values-based actions. The third factor, i.e. avoidance, has not shown a mediating role in any of the relationships examined. Benevolence strengthens the negative relationship between the sense of coherence and the obstruction dimension, whereas revenge weakens this relationship. Conclusions: The results reflect the significant role of gratitude in the functioning of psychological mechanisms and reveal another aspect on which the presence of gratitude has a positive effect in the functioning of an individual.
