The purpose of this study was to examine whether meaning in life understood in terms of presence, search, and personal meaning is a mediator in the relationships between religious coping and psychological well-being. Associations of religiousness and psychological well-being are complex and suggest the existence of meaning and purpose in their internal structures. Two studies were conducted. In Study 1, presence of meaning in life was a mediator between negative coping and psychological well-being in the scope of a total score and all its dimensions. Search for meaning in life did not mediate the above relations. In Study 2, personal meaning turned out to be a partial mediator between negative coping and psychological well-being. These findings suggest that meaning in life is a crucial element of religious coping and psychological well-being that is used by people as a part of their meaning system to cope with life's difficulties and challenges.
本研究的目的是检验从存在、探寻和个人意义角度理解的生命意义是否在宗教应对与心理健康之间的关系中起中介作用。宗教信仰与心理健康之间的关联很复杂，这表明在其内部结构中存在意义和目的。我们进行了两项研究。在研究1中，生命意义的存在在总分及其所有维度范围内是消极应对与心理健康之间的中介。对生命意义的探寻并未调解上述关系。在研究2中，个人意义被证明是消极应对与心理健康之间的部分中介。这些发现表明，生命意义是宗教应对和心理健康的关键要素，人们将其作为意义系统的一部分来应对生活中的困难和挑战。
