The present study proposes a stringent test for religious variables by examining their power to predict subjective well-being (happiness) over and above nonreligious indicators. The total sample included 489 participants (57% women) with a mean age of 44. A series of multiple hierarchical regression...

520 |a The present study proposes a stringent test for religious variables by examining their power to predict subjective well-being (happiness) over and above nonreligious indicators. The total sample included 489 participants (57% women) with a mean age of 44. A series of multiple hierarchical regressions was performed with each well-being facet as the criterion in separate models. Personality explained a significant amount of variance for negative emotion (21%), positive emotion (28%), and cognitive well-being (17%). Congregational support and public religious practices added no unique variance to any aspect of subjective well-being. Spirituality made a significant, independent contribution in predicting positive emotion (5%) and cognitive well-being (1%), but none to negative emotion. These findings support the notion that spirituality makes a unique contribution in predicting subjective well-being, and its motivational power may result from its link to positive affect and life satisfaction.
