Social Maturity
(1) Abstract
-------------------------------------------------
This study examined the mediating role of self-perceived health between perceived spirituality, religiosity, and life satisfaction among a stratified, random sample of college students, while controlling for gender. Although both models displayed excellent fit criteria, the perceived spirituality and life satisfaction model was fully mediated by self-perceived health x2 (n = 459, 4) = 1.64, p = 0.80, CFI = 0.99, TLI = 0.99), and the perceived religiosity and life satisfaction model was partially mediated by self-perceived health x2 (n = 459, 10) = 22.29, p = 0.01 CFI = 0.99, TLI = 0.99). Both models were equal for men and women. Students who describe themselves an spiritual (or religious) are likely to report greater self-perceived health and greater self-perceived health likely influences life satisfaction for both men and women. Results preliminarily support the contention that life satisfaction is related to differing reported helath status, whether physical or mental, and that life satisfaction may be influenced by religiosity and spirituality engagement. Implications for colleges and universities are discussed.
