Abstract

Objective: This study aims to explore the correlations between religiosity, optimism and quality of life among young adults, as well as any potential gender differences that may exist. Method: For the study, a sample of 201 was collected from the age group of young adults around the country of which about 60% were females and 40% males. The Duke University Religion Index (DUREL), LIFE ORIENTATION TEST –Revised (LOT-R) and WHO Quality of Life Scale-Brief were used to collect the data. Result: The result clearly shows a positive correlation between religiosity and quality of life; between religiosity and optimism and as well as between optimism and quality of life. Moreover the study also shows an insignificant gender difference on Religiosity, Optimism and Quality of Life in young adults. Conclusion: The study clearly indicates that there is a positive relationship between religiosity, optimism, and quality of life. The individuals who are more religious tend to have higher levels of optimism and quality of life. Moreover, the study found that optimism partially mediates the relationship between religiosity and quality of life. This suggests that individuals who are more religious tend to be more optimistic, which, in turn, leads to a higher quality of life.
