Religiousness predicts quality of university life among university students with different religion types

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study explores the relationships among religious involvement, religious coping, and quality of university life among university students in mainland China. The religious involvement scale, the brief RCOPE, and the quality of university life measure were administered to 1623 university students from 135 universities. Results showed that positive religious coping and religious involvement significantly positively predicted quality of university life, while negative religious coping significantly negatively predicted quality of university life. The contributions, limitations and implications of this research are discussed.
