Abstract
The present research aims at the intermediary role of religious thanksgiving in the relationship between norm-referenced gratitude and life satisfaction. To do so, 104 students in Imam Khomeini Educational and Research Institute answered three questionnaires of “norm-referenced gratitude”, “criterion-referenced gratitude” and “life satisfaction”. The data were analyzed through SPSS and LISREL softwares. The results of the analysis showed that in spite of a meaningful correlation of norm-referenced gratitude and criterion-referenced gratitude with life satisfaction, the direct path of norm-referenced gratitude does not lead to life satisfaction, and that norm-referenced gratitude just indirectly, through criterion-referenced gratitude, explains life satisfaction. The results of the research present a logical explanation for the importance of the role of religious thanksgiving in life satisfaction.
