This article aims to analyze the effect that affects can have on the relationship between cultural involvement and life satisfaction in an indigenous community. Three hundred and twenty people belonging to the Lickanantay indigenous people, based in the Chilean Andes, participated. The following instruments were used for data collection: Satisfaction with Life Scale; Cultural Involvement Scale and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. Inferential statistics were used in the analysis. Of the total, 180 (56.3%) were women and 124 (38.8%) lived in indigenous communities. Cultural involvement had a positive and moderate effect on life satisfaction and positive affects, and a negative effect of slight magnitude on negative affects. Positive affects had positive effects of moderate magnitude on life satisfaction. Negative affects had negative effects of small magnitude on life satisfaction. Both types of affect had significant indirect effects on the relationship between cultural involvement and life satisfaction. Both positive and negative affects can be mechanisms by which cultural involvement is related to life satisfaction among the Lickanantay.
