<![CDATA[Disaster volunteers often face stressful situations comparable to those experienced by disaster victims, which may reduce their overall well-being. This study examined the roles of gratitude, religiosity, empathy, and coping strategies in predicting the happiness of disaster volunteers in Indonesia. A total of 135 volunteers participated in the study. Five instruments were employed: the Brief-COPE to assess coping strategies, the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire Short Form (OHQ-S) to measure happiness, the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) for empathy, the Gratitude Questionnaire–Six Item Form (GQ-6), and a Religiosity Scale. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to examine both simultaneous and partial contributions of these variables to volunteer happiness. The findings revealed that happiness was significantly influenced by religiosity, gratitude, and empathy, while coping strategies contributed only when analyzed simultaneously with the other predictors. These results highlight the importance of psychological resources such as gratitude, religiosity, and empathy in maintaining volunteers’ well-being. Thus, strengthening these attributes may enhance disaster volunteers’ resilience and capacity to sustain happiness in challenging circumstances.]]>
