The aims of the present study were (1) to explore sex-related differences, (2) to estimate the associations between love of life, happiness, and religiosity, and (3) to investigate the components from the correlation matrices. A sample of Indian college students (N = 370) took part in this study. They responded to the English versions of the Love of Life Scale, the Arabic Scale of Happiness, and the Arabic Scale of Intrinsic Religiosity. Results indicated that women obtained the higher mean scores on love of life and religiosity than did men and the effect size was small. All the correlations between the scales were statistically significant and positive. Principal components analysis extracted one component and labelled: Well-being and religiosity. It was concluded that those who consider themselves as religious experienced greater love of life and happiness
