بررسي رابطه شادكامي اسلامي و شادكامي روان شناختي در دانشجويان دانشگاه قم در سال تحصيلي 89-1388

An Investigation of the Relationship between Islamic Happiness and Psychological Happiness among the Students of Qom University in 1388-89

The present study aims at answering the following questions: "Can we build a device based on Islamic sources for assessing happiness?" and "Is there any relationship between religious doctrines in the sphere of happiness (if transformed to assessable parameters) and psychological happiness?" This study deals with investigating this relationship in 143 male and female students in BA and MA levels at Qom University. To do so, a questionnaire on parameters of happiness in Quranic verses and sayings of the Impeccable was prepared, validated and conducted along with Fordyceʹs questionnaire on happiness in a sample group. The data were analyzed using Pearsonʹs product-moment correlation coefficient, Levinʹs T-test and independent T-test. The results showed a positive and meaningful relationship between Islamic happiness and psychological happiness. Considering these results, it is possible to build a device based on Islamic sources for measuring the happiness of religious and non-religious individuals. Furthermore, we may plan some interventions to change, somehow, the lifestyle of the depressed persons with parameters of religious happiness.
