Abstract
The present study, centred on the meaning of life, employed a four-level socio-psychological analysis, categorizing participants (N = 400) based on intraindividual, interindividual, positional and ideological levels. Examining factors like self-construal, interpersonal discomfort, political self-positioning and social identity, the study revealed interconnections and combinatorial profiles. These groupings reflected interfaces between individual and interpersonal elaborations of meaning, extending into broader political, ideological and worldview contexts. These findings emphasize the permeable boundaries between socio-psychological levels, highlighting the complexity of meaning-making. The study contributes to the discourse on psychology's interdisciplinary nature, showcasing its role to unravel the complex interplay of personal, interpersonal and societal aspects in the pursuit of understanding the meaning of life.
