摘要
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the presence of meaning in life is a mediator in the relationship between spirituality and psychological well-being, during emerging adulthood. The sample consisted of 737 students from Romanian universities. Scales measuring the presence of meaning in life, spirituality and psychological wellbeing were used. The results of the study indicated that the presence of meaning in life fully mediated the relationship between spirituality and psychological well-being. The findings of the study have contributed to the efforts aimed at understanding the factors associated with emerging adults' psychological well-being. The results were discussed in relation to literature from the psychological perspective, as well as the theological one. Practical implications were suggested for university counselling services.
