Abstract
150 Northern Irish University undergraduate students completed the Fra ncis Scale of Altitude towards Christianity, the Satisfaction with Lif e Scale, and a single-item measure of frequency of church attendance. No significant association was found between scores on the Francis Sca le of Attitude towards Christianity and scores on the Satisfaction wit h Life Scale (r=.05) or between frequency of church attendance and sco res on the Satisfaction with Life Scale (r=.00). These data provide no evidence that, among a sample of Northern Irish University undergradu ate students, those with a more positive attitude towards Christianity or a greater frequency of church attendance are more satisfied with l ife.
