Abstract

This study investigates whether place attachment (PA) in terms of attachment to Australia as a country is associated with QoL and the extent to which this association is related to attachment to God (AG) among African Christian residents in NSW, Australia. Results reveal that the main effects of PA bear a consistent positive association with QoL. A similar positive association was observed in the main effects of AG on QoL. There is not enough evidence to support the interaction between PA and AG on QoL, thus both PA and AG have an impact on QoL individually, rather than collectively.
