dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study was to examine the relationships between the predictor variables (demographic variables, gratitude, self-compassion, spirituality, and social connectedness) and the outcome variable (happiness) in a convenient sample of 202 Lebanese adults aged 18 and above. Participants were expected to fill a battery of questionnaires which included demographics questionnaire (gender, age, educational level, monthly income); the Oxford Happiness questionnaire (OHQ), Subjective Happiness scale (SHS), the Gratitude questionnaire-six item form (GQ-6), Self-compassion scale-short form (SCS-SF), Spirituality Scale-Revised version (SS-revised form), and the Social connectedness scale. The main findings of this study revealed that social connectedness was the highest and most significant predictor of happiness followed by spirituality, self-compassion and gratitude. Moreover, there was no significant gender or age differences regarding happiness, no significant association between educational level and happiness and no significant association between income and happiness. The interpretations of the findings and the limitations of the study were discussed.
