Recent theories propose that global meaning in life (MIL) is based on feelings of coherence, purpose, and existential mattering. MIL has also been linked to mental representations—for example, beliefs, values, attitudes, and identities—that serve as “meaning frameworks” for interpreting the world and oneself. Combining these proposals, we predicted that beliefs, values, attitudes, and identities would foster a sense of MIL to the extent that they provide feelings of coherence, purpose, and existential mattering.

人们觉得什么最有意义？自我和世界的表征如何为生活提供意义

最近的理论提出，生活中的全球意义 (MIL) 是基于连贯性、目的和存在感的感觉。MIL 还与心理表征（例如信念、价值观、态度和身份）相关联，这些表征作为解释世界和自己的“意义框架”。结合这些建议，我们预测信仰、价值观、态度和身份将培养一种 MIL 感，只要它们提供连贯性、目的性和存在感的感觉。
