The Affective Dimension of Religion and Personal Happiness among Students in Estonia
Francis, Leslie J.; Elken, Ahto; Robbins, Mandy
Journal of Research on Christian Education, v21 n1 p84-90 2012
A sample of 150 students in Estonia (119 from a secular university and 31 from a Lutheran theological institute) completed the Oxford Happiness Measure and the Francis Scale of Attitude toward Christianity. The data show no significant correlation between these two variables; thus the findings challenge the generalizability to Estonia of the general findings from studies conducted in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Israel that consistently reported a positive association between the affective dimension of religion and personal happiness. (Contains 1 table.)
