Abstract: Most of the published research addressing the relationship between subjective wellbeing and religiosity has relied on Western populations and used Judeo-Christian participants. The present study examined links between subjective wellbeing and religion in the predominantly Muslim country of Turkey. Using pooled data from the World Values Survey (n = 9289), this research explored whether religious devotion could be linked to happiness and life satisfaction in a Turkish population. The findings suggest that higher levels of religious self-identification, the importance given to religion and God and mosque attendance were all associated with greater levels of happiness and life satisfaction. In addition, the results show that mosque attendance, which is less common among women, did not have significantly different effects on the subjective wellbeing of women and men.
