    Abstract

    This study tests the hypothesis that higher levels of positive religious affect are associated with higher levels of personal happiness among a sample of 284 Hebrew-speaking female undergraduate students who completed the Katz-Francis Scale of Attitude toward Judaism, the Oxford Happiness Inventory, and the short-form Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised. The data reported a small but statistically significant association between religiosity and happiness after taking individual differences in personality into account.
