| Zusammenfassung: | The COVID-19 pandemic has increased stress and anxiety and decreased life satisfaction, especially for those with a high level of neuroticism. In a religious country such as Indonesia, this pandemic may cause people, including college students, to feel anger toward God. Previous studies found that certain behaviours moderate the effect of neuroticism on life satisfaction. This study investigated the moderating effects of positive and negative attitudes toward God. A moderation analysis was performed on data obtained from 367 Christian and 547 Muslim students from 10 universities in the Jakarta metropolitan area. The findings revealed that a positive attitude toward God significantly moderates the connection between neuroticism and life satisfaction for Christians, whereas a negative attitude toward God does not moderate the same connection for both Muslims and Christians. The implications of this study are discussed below. |
