Abstract

BackgroundPsychological research about meaningfulness is concerned with a subjective sense of meaning of one's own life, that is, meaning in life. Empirical research in this field is attracting interest, as meaning in life has wide‐ranging positive implications for mental health and well‐being.AimThe aim of this article is to test the validity of the Finnish translation of the Sources of Meaning and Meaning in Life (SoMe) questionnaire. In the article, meaningfulness and crisis of meaning are correlated with sources of meaning, and results are compared with other validation studies in Norway, Denmark, and Brazil as well as with the original German questionnaire.MethodsTo meet our aim, 551 participants were recruited to answer the Finnish questionnaire. The internal and construct validity of the Finnish questionnaire were tested with reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and analysis of intercorrelations of items in the questionnaire.ResultsThe analysis demonstrated similar reliability to other validation studies of the questionnaire and results highly comparable to the Norwegian study regarding the internal structure of the questionnaire. Results of intercorrelations of items within the questionnaire were also comparable to the other validation studies.

芬兰语的 "意义和生活意义的来源"（SoMe）问卷：芬兰社会人口学对意义和意义危机的调查结果

背景关于有意义的心理学研究关注的是一个人对自己生活意义的主观感受，即生活的意义。由于生活意义对心理健康和幸福感有着广泛的积极影响，因此这一领域的实证研究正引起人们的兴趣。本文旨在检验芬兰语翻译的 "生活意义的来源和意义"（SoMe）问卷的有效性。文章中，意义性和意义危机与意义来源相关联，并将结果与挪威、丹麦和巴西的其他验证研究以及原始德语问卷进行了比较。通过信度分析、确认性因素分析、探索性因素分析和问卷项目间相互关系分析，对芬兰问卷的内部有效性和结构有效性进行了测试。问卷各项目之间相互关系的分析结果也与其他验证研究结果相当。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
