This study aimed to discuss the relationship between the religious attitude, perceived stress, and life satisfaction of Generation Y, born between 1980 and 1995. Additionally, the study examined the degree of how religious attitude, perceived stress, and life satisfaction differed by age group, gender, employment status, educational status, worship, religious belief of the self, religious belief of the family, receiving religious education, and income status. The correlational design was used in this research. The study sample comprised 387 adults who were born between 1980 and 1995, selected from office workers in different sectors with the appropriate sampling method. The Ok Religious Attitude Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and Life Satisfaction Scale were used as data collection tools. The findings revealed that there was a statistically significant relationship between the Ok Religious Attitude Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and Life Satisfaction Scale. In addition to this finding, the results also pointed out that religious attitude and perceived stress predict life satisfaction. Moreover, it was found that the Perceived Stress Scale scores differed significantly according to gender, employment status, perceived income status, and religious belief status; the Ok Religious Attitude Scale scores differed significantly according to gender, religious education, worship, religious belief, and family’s religious belief. Likewise, the scores of the Life Satisfaction Scale differed significantly according to variables of gender, worship, perceived income level, religious belief, and educational status.

The Computer Technology Hassles Scale was developed to measure technostress or computer-related stress. The Computer Technology Hassles Scale was based on the idea that certain interactions with computer technology are perceived by people to be stressful or a “hassle.” Subjects rated a list of 65 “hassles” as to severity, using a graded response. To ascertain the relation of the Computer Technology Hassles Scale to other measures, the subjects were given the Perceived Stress Scale, a measure of global stress. Subjects were also given a measure of computer attitudes, the Computer Attitude Scale. Demographic data on each subject were also collected. The correlational analyses showed that scores on the Computer Technology Hassles Scale were significantly correlated with scores on the Perceived Stress Scale and the number of hours of computer use but not with attitudes toward computers. These results suggest that the Computer Technology Hassles Scale taps a dimension of psychological stress and that increased computer use for some people leads to increased computer-related stress.

Life satisfaction influences sustainable personal growth among students by ensuring that they more firmly apply themselves in their education. Universities represent an environment where students may improve their life satisfaction through better academic performance and being engaged in extracurricular sport. This study evaluates life satisfaction (LS) among university students, 18 to 28 years of age to confirm whether academic performance, involvement in sports and physical activity are factors relating to higher levels of LS among university students. The study uses the Brief Multidimensional Life Satisfaction Scale. Over a three-year timeframe, a questionnaire was administered to a sample of 875 students across areas of study in institutions of higher education in Serbia. The data were analyzed using Mann–Whitney and Kruskal–Wallis tests. LS among students is found to be significantly improved under the following conditions: removing the burden to pay for one’s tuition, having a better Grade Point Average (GPA) as well as being involved in sport. Moreover, the optimum level of physical activity to positively affect LS is found to be four to five hours a week.
