Abstract
We investigated the relationship between quality of life (QOL), genera l ability and current mood in a sample of young men (N = 269, mean age 24.9 years). Intelligence (verbal, spatial and mathematical) and tech nical ability were uncorrelated with QOL. Current mood such as pleasur e, anger, sadness, boredom correlated firmly with QOL. The paper concl udes that intelligence seems to be a variable of minor interest for QO L-studies.
