In a sample of 162 Kuwaiti undergraduates (33 men, 129 women; M age = 20.1 yr., SD = 1.9), self-ratings of happiness were significantly and positively correlated with self-ratings of religiosity and strength of religious belief as well as scores on Hoge's Scale of Intrinsic Religious Motivation (1972). The present data provide evidence that, among a sample of Kuwaiti Muslim undergraduates, religious people are happier.
在162名科威特大学生样本中(33名男性,129名女性;平均年龄 = 20.1岁,标准差 = 1.9),幸福感自评与宗教虔诚度自评、宗教信仰强度以及霍格内在宗教动机量表(1972年)得分显著正相关。目前的数据表明,在科威特穆斯林大学生样本中,宗教信徒更幸福。
