Abstract

The present study explored the relationship between depression, religiosity and quality of life in senior citizens. The sample comprised of 400 senior citizens (above 60 years) with equal number of educated males and females (200 each). The analysis revealed that in females’ sample, depression explained the maximum variance of 21% followed by religiosity explained 4% in quality of life. In all, these variables have accounted for 25% of total variance whereas; in males’ sample only depression emerged in a significant predictor that explained 8% of variance. Further, t test has revealed the superiority of males in quality of life and female’s superiority on depression, and religiosity.
