摘要
The present study examined personal meaning in life as a predictor of a range of interpersonal well-being outcomes (e.g., positive friendship functions, family life satisfaction, positive relationships). Furthermore, relational meaning in life was examined as a predictor of interpersonal well-being outcomes, above and beyond personal meaning in life. The study implemented a prospective design within a community adult sample. Personal meaning in life was found to account for a significant amount of variance in all of the interpersonal well-being outcomes examined for in the present study. Relational meaning in life accounted for a significant amount of unique variance above and beyond personal meaning in life for several interpersonal well-being outcomes. Findings highlight the importance of considering relational meaning in life, especially when the outcomes are interpersonal.
