Religioznost i zadovoljstvo životom kod učenika srednjih škola

Abstract

The relationship between religiosity and life satisfaction was examined using two scales -the Religious Maturity Scale and the Life Satisfaction Scale. The survey was conducted on a sample of 154 high school students (77 from the Gymnasium, 77 from the School of Economics and Trade), at the level of the city of Novi Pazar. The obtained statistical results confirm that there is no collision of variables between the degree of religious maturity of the respondents in relation to gender, religion and the type of secondary school they attend. The subject of this research is the determination of the relationship between religiosity and life satisfaction among students, depending on the type of secondary school (High School and Economic -Trade School), in relation to religion and in relation to gender. The practical implication of this research is reflected in the application of the obtained results for the design and implementation of workshops on this topic. Thus, students would have the opportunity to express their views on the religious aspect, but also to suppress prejudices against different types of religions. These results would provide an insight into the degree of satisfaction with students' life in relation to the degree of religiosity. Thus, we could have a preventive effect on their subjective well-being and satisfaction with life.
