The present study sought to estimate the happiness rate and its
relationship with well – being and religiosity among a college student
sample from Libya (N = 800 men and women). They responded to the
Arabic Scale of Happiness (ASH), the well – being self rating scales of
physical health, mental health, happiness, satisfaction with life, as well as
religiosity. Results indicated that the mean scores on the ASH among
Libyan college students were higher than that of Egyptian and Iraqi
students. However, the Libyan students obtained a lower mean ASH
score than did the Kuwaiti, Omani, and Lebanese counterparts. Libyan
men obtained statistically significant higher mean scores on ASH and
mental health than did their female peers. All the Pearson correlations
were statistically significant and positive between the scales except one
correlation between religiosity and physical health in women. The
principal components analysis retained separately one factor in men and
women and labeled "Well – being". Based on the present sample and
scales, it was concluded that those who consider themselves as happy
experienced greater physical and mental health and more religious.
