Does Spirituality Influence Happiness and Academic Performance? by Rajasekhar David The study examines spirituality, forgiveness, and gratitude's impact on academic performance, proposing a model showing spirituality moderates the mediation effect of happiness between forgiveness/gratitude and performance.
