Abstract
Explores the relationship between religiosity & life satisfaction, using data on 875 respondents to the 1993 General Social Survey. Six indicators of life satisfaction are used, each corresponding to a distinct life domain, ie, satisfaction with finances, family, friendships, health, city of residence, & nonworking activities. Religiosity is measured by denominational affiliation, strength of affiliation, & frequency of attending religious services. Results of nested logistic regression models show that these three indicators of religiosity have significant, but differential, effects on the six distinct life satisfaction domains. 7 Tables, 33 References.
