There is a growing body of research on how spirituality and religiosity affect people's lives. There are models to examine this in people with cancer, depression or anorexia, its modeling being less frequent in the general or healthy population, and particularly in older adults (OA). The goal here is to identify whether spirituality and religiosity predict the happiness of OA. The sample was non-probabilistic, by convenience and availability, using the snowball method. The sample is 206 participants (170 women, 36 men) from Ñuble, a region of south-central Chile, over 60 years of age (M = 70 years, SD = 6.86), who answered a questionnaire that included socio-demographic data, the Colombian version of Parsian and Dunning's Spirituality Questionnaire, the Spanish version of Allport and Ross "Age Universal" Scale of Religious Orientation IE-12, and the Happiness Scale for Adults (EFPA) (Moyano-Díaz et al., 2018). It is observed that OA present medium levels of religiosity, high in spirituality and significant correlations between these. Three models are tested through linear regression with mediation to explain happiness, using religiosity as a predictor variable and spirituality as a mediator. It is concluded that spirituality and religiosity predict happiness in OA, among other results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
