Abstract
This study investigated the relationships among life satisfaction,
religiosity, positive-negative affect and academic performance in 80
undergraduate students. Convenience sampling technique was applied
and Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener, Emmons, Larson, & Griffen,
1985), Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Watson & Clark, 1998)
and Index of Religiosity (Aziz & Rehman, 1996) were administered to
collect the data. Preceding semester GPA was asked in order to get the
idea about the academic performance of the students. The analyses
revealed that religiosity and life satisfaction were significantly related
to academic performance. Whereas, negative affect was negatively
related to academic performance, life satisfaction and religiosity. The
analysis also indicated that positive affect and religiosity are not
related with life satisfaction. No significant differences were found
between gender on studied variables. It was concluded that religiosity
and life satisfaction are predictors of high academic performance in
undergraduate students.
