摘要

我们检验了这样一个假设,即一个人对自我概念稳定性的感知(即未来自我连续性)能够让人体验到生命的意义,因为感知到稳定的自我感觉会赋予自我概念一种确定感。研究 1 提供了具有全国代表性样本的未来自我连续性对人生意义感(MIL)影响的初步证据。在研究 2a 和 2b 中,我们通过改变对未来自我的预期来操纵未来自我连续性,从而证明了未来自我连续性对自我确定性和生命意义感的因果影响。研究 3 再次操纵了未来自我连续性,发现它通过自我确定性对人生意义感产生了间接影响。因此,我们的研究结果表明,人生意义的体验源于对稳定的自我意识的感知。我们将讨论 MIL 的前因和概念化以及自我概念性质的影响。

Perceiving a Stable Self-Concept Enables the Experience of Meaning in Life.

We test the hypothesis that the perception of stability in one's self-concept (i.e., future self-continuity) enables the experience of meaning in life because perceiving a stable sense of self confers a sense of certainty to the self-concept. Study 1 provided initial evidence of the influence of future self-continuity on feelings of meaning in life (MIL) in a nationally representative sample. In Studies 2a and 2b, we manipulated future self-continuity by varying the expectedness of one's future self, demonstrating the causal influence of future self-continuity on self-certainty and feelings of MIL. Study 3 again manipulated future self-continuity, finding an indirect effect on feelings of meaning in life via self-certainty. Our findings thus suggest the experience of meaning in life arises from the perception of a stable sense of self. We discuss the implications for the antecedents and conceptualization of MIL as well as the nature of the self-concept.
