520 |a A large body of literature has attempted to assess the relationship between religiosity and life satisfaction. We use data on 875 individuals from the 1993 General Social Survey to readdress this issue. Unlike previous research, we do not rely on a single, unidimensional measure of life satisfaction. Instead, we use six separate indicators of life satisfaction, each corresponding to a distinct life domain. The life domains include satisfaction with finances, family, friendships, health, city, and nonworking activities. We measure religiosity with three variables: denominational affiliation, strength of affiliation, and frequency of attending religious services. We utilize a series of nested logistic regression models in order to estimate the odds that a respondent is highly satisfied with a particular life domain. The results from these analyses show that these three indicators of religiosity have significant, but differential effects on the six, distinct life satisfaction domains.
