Prediction of Life Satisfaction Based on Islamic Lifestyle, Patience, and Tolerance of Failure among Women

The present study aimed to predict life satisfaction based on Islamic lifestyle, patience, and tolerance of failure among women in Babolsar, Mazandaran province, Iran.

This descriptive study utilized an applied research method. The statistical population included all women in Babolsar, and 350 cases were selected by convenience sampling method. The required data were then collected using online surveys through the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al., 1985), Islamic Lifestyle Questionnaire by Kaviani (2010), as well as Harrington's Failure Tolerance and Evans's (1980) Patience scales. Stepwise regression analysis in SPSS software (version 24) was used for statistical analysis.

The results of the data analysis showed that the Islamic lifestyle and the ability to tolerate failure could predict life satisfaction among women (P<0.01). The results of multiple regression analysis also indicate that Islamic lifestyle and ability to tolerate failure predict 28% of life satisfaction (P<0.05).

According to the results, the necessity of strengthening the Islamic lifestyle by leading life based on Islamic teachings in various institutions and cultivating positive and constructive character traits, such as patience and tolerance of failure, can be noticed by everyone. Therefore, it seems necessary to strengthen and design programs for educating families based on Islamic culture.
