The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between passion to
physical activity and life satisfaction in male students. 383 male students were
chosen through cluster sampling among various schools in Tabriz and completed
passion scale (Vallerand, et al. 2003), and multidimensional life satisfaction scale
for students (MSLSS, 2001). T-test and Pearson correlation test was used for data
analysis. Results showed that students with Harmonious Passion to physical
activity have higher levels of satisfaction with their family, life environment, school
and friends than students with obsessive passion. The results also showed
obsessive students have a higher level of satisfaction in self subscale compared
with Harmonious students. In general life Satisfaction, the results showed that
Harmonious students have more satisfied than the obsessive students. The results
showed there is a significant relationship between life satisfaction and Harmonious
passion, but not in Obsessive passion. Overall, the results supports the Dualistic
Model of Passion (DMP) (Vallerand, 2003).
