“…Furthermore, the participants with high religious commitment levels still required gratitude to improve their mental health. As high level of religious commitment is not always positively correlated to mental health (Allen et al, 2023), the gratitude fills this gap.…”

“…Specifically, gratitude encourages individuals to understand their religious commitment's purpose and gives it meaning. When participants did not perceive their religious commitment as religious oppression (Allen et al, 2023) but as a manifestation of thankfulness to God, they felt their life was comfortable and had meaning, made them happier and more satisfied. This study supports evidence from previous observations (e.g., Aziz & Mangestuti, 2020a;Jackson, 2017) that gratitude can make a person's life happier and more fulfilling, and when they are grateful, they get benefit by remembering or discovering positive facts in their lives; they feel comfortable, and have a meaningful life (Aziz & Mangestuti, 2020b;Holton, 2017).…”

“…Current studies have highlighted the detrimental effects of such religious commitment. Allen et al (2023) found that religious commitment, perceived as religious oppression, negatively correlates with life satisfaction and, therefore, impacts depression (Allen et al, 2023). Furthermore, breast cancer patients in Germany with high religious commitment and negative religious coping indicated high anxiety.…”

Despite global students' mental health problems being prevalent, adequate attention and resources to treat mental health problems are still lacking. Meanwhile, several studies found that religious commitment and gratitude can play an essential role in addressing the issue of mental health problems. This study explored religious commitment to promote mental health and gratitude as moderating variables to address this gap. This study used the Brief Scale of Mental Health 12, the General Mental Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), the Gratitude Resentment and Appreciation Test (GRAT), and the Religious Commitment Inventory (RCI–10) scales. Data were taken from 320 students of four state Islamic Universities in East Java, Indonesia. This study utilized descriptive and regression analysis techniques. The result of the data analysis demonstrated three main findings as follows. First, the students had a high level of mental health. Second, religious commitment positively affected mental health. Third, gratitude could become a variable that strengthens the relationship between religious commitment and mental health. Research implication in education is attempting to improve mental health among students not merely on the religious commitment but also on emphasizing systematic ways to develop gratitude in students' daily lives as a moderator that plays a role in maintaining the relationship between mental health and religious commitment. This study was based solely on a quantitative approach; therefore, a mixed-method model is recommended for further investigation to understand the process of improving mental health through religious commitment and students' gratitude better.

The aim of the current study is to investigate if there are differences in hope, life satisfaction, and self-esteem between working and non-working married women living in joint families. The sample had 144 parousmarried women working as well as non-working women living in joint families. The age range was 24–55 years. Participants were from urban and rural areas. The hope scale, life satisfaction scale, and self-esteem scale were used. Results showed that there are considerable differences in hope, life satisfaction, and self-esteem between working and non-working married women living in joint families. Self esteem and life satisfaction have a significant positive relationship with hope. Therapies and counselling may help improve self-esteem and life satisfaction. Findings have vital implications for practice and underscore the requirement to help and encourage married women in their lifestyle. The results highlight the need for mental well-being promotion and also prevent low self-esteem in non-working women as an appropriate response to enhance their hope and life satisfaction. There is a requirement to be hopeful and positive in order to deal with low self-esteem and low life satisfaction.
