Three hundred (300) participants from different cities in China were invited to complete four instruments: the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), Religious Commitment Inventory-10(RCI) and Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS). Data analysis was completed employing a series of multiple regressions to ascertain the correlations of the aforementioned constructs.
