Abstract
This study aimed to examine the affective composition of Christians in terms of homeostatically protected mood (HPMood), comprising content, happy and excited. It is postulated that biblical teaching may have an enhancement effect on the affective aspect of Christians. Hence, it is predicted that the three positive affects of content, happy and excited are able to explain significant subjective wellbeing variance of them. By means of convenient sampling, 173 adult Christians in Hong Kong were recruited to participate in a survey by filling in a questionnaire. The result of multiple regression revealed that, among these three affects, only content was able to explain significant subjective wellbeing variance. The findings were discussed with reference to the affective circumplex model by Davern et al. (2007). Also, the implications and limitations of this study were discussed.
