The present study explored presence of meaning in life, search for meaning in life, and their correlation with health anxiety. The Meaning in Life Questionnaire and the Short Health Anxiety Inventory were completed by 753 individuals. Results indicated higher presence of meaning in life was associated with lower health anxiety, while the opposite was observed for search for meaning in life. Results also revealed an interaction between presence of meaning in life and search for meaning in life, where individuals with high search for meaning in life and high presence of meaning in life had lower health anxiety than those with high search for meaning in life and low presence of meaning in life. These findings suggest that presence of meaning in life and search for meaning in life are correlates of health anxiety.
本研究探讨了生命意义的存在、生命意义的追寻及其与健康焦虑的相关性。753名个体完成了生命意义问卷和简短健康焦虑量表。结果表明，较高的生命意义存在与较低的健康焦虑相关，而生命意义的追寻则呈现相反的情况。结果还揭示了生命意义的存在与生命意义的追寻之间的相互作用，即生命意义追寻程度高且生命意义存在程度高的个体比生命意义追寻程度高但生命意义存在程度低的个体健康焦虑更低。这些发现表明，生命意义的存在和生命意义的追寻与健康焦虑相关。
