Abstract

In the current study, multiple mediation procedures were used to investigate which types of positive affect (awe, joy or contentment) explain the relationship between spirituality and health using data acquired from a sample of young adults. Results suggested that contentment may serve as the primary ‘active ingredient’ in this relationship.
