Abstract:
The aim of the present study was to determine whether there is a relationship between life satisfaction and CGPA of university students. After detailed literature review, it was hypothesized that there is relationship between Life satisfaction and CGPA.The sample size consisted of 99 university students. These students were selected from various universities of Karachi. The ages of the participants ranged from 18 to 25 years with the mean of 24.5 years. The entire sample belonged to upper, middle and lower socioeconomic class.Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale (Huebner, 1991) which was a self administered scale and CGPA Record in order to access the score of life satisfaction.Pearson Coefficient of Correlation was applied to determine the relationship between Life satisfaction and CGPA. The results showed significant positive correlation (r = .037) thus verifying the hypothesis that there is a relationship between Life satisfaction and CGPA. The observed positive correlation between the two variables depicts that indeed those individual who score high on life satisfaction scale would more likely to score high CGPA and vice-versa. It shows that is a significant positive correlation between life satisfaction and CGPA. Avenues for future research have also been suggested, while implication and limitations have been illustrated.
