One of the 5 coping scales in Rahe's Brief Stress and Coping Inventory, entitled Life Meaning, was examined in relation to demographic characteristics, other coping measures, and health status in a sample of 12,640 Hungarian participants. Participants were selected to represent the country's population according to sex, age, and place of residence. The study also explored the contribution of life meaning to the explanation of variations of middle-aged (45-64 years) male and female mortality rates across 150 subregions in Hungary. On an ecological level life meaning proved to be inversely related to male and female oncological, female cardiovascular, and total premature mortality rates in the 150 subregions of Hungary and on an individual level to participants' reported health status. In the total sample of individuals after controlling for gender, age, and education, life meaning scores showed strong correlations with the World Health Organization well-being scale, with self-rated absence of depression, with self-rated health, and with self-rated absence of disability. Although relatively unrelated to age, gender, and education, life meaning was positively related to self-efficacy, importance of religion, problem-oriented coping, and social support.
拉赫简易压力与应对量表中的五个应对量表之一，名为“生活意义”，在12640名匈牙利参与者的样本中，就人口统计学特征、其他应对措施和健康状况进行了研究。根据性别、年龄和居住地点选择参与者以代表该国人口。该研究还探讨了生活意义对解释匈牙利150个次区域中年（45 - 64岁）男性和女性死亡率差异的贡献。在生态层面上，生活意义被证明与匈牙利150个次区域的男性和女性肿瘤、女性心血管疾病以及总过早死亡率呈负相关，在个体层面上与参与者报告的健康状况呈负相关。在控制了性别、年龄和教育程度后的个体总样本中，生活意义得分与世界卫生组织幸福感量表、自我评定无抑郁、自我评定健康以及自我评定无残疾呈强相关。尽管生活意义与年龄、性别和教育程度相对无关，但它与自我效能感、宗教重要性、以问题为导向的应对方式和社会支持呈正相关。
