Zusammenfassung:The primary objective of this study was to investigate the effect of perceived religiosity, frequency of daily prayer, and frequency of attending Majelis taklim on depression and subjective well-being in different age groups of the young, adult, and older Moslems. We analysed the data from Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) Wave 5, with a total sample of 27,246 individuals. The results showed that perceived religiosity has a larger effect size on positive affect, negative affect, happiness, and life satisfaction in young than in adult and older Moslems. Meanwhile, the frequency of attending Majelis taklim influences happiness and life satisfaction more strongly in the older Moslems than in the young and adult Moslems. Perceived religiosity and frequency of attending Moslem forum only have a significant negative association with depression in all the age groups, and surprisingly frequency of attending Majelis taklim is positively associated with depression in the younger and older Moslems.
