Abstract
One longitudinal and four cross-sectional studies (total = 3,141) tested two candidate explanations for the association between religiousness and perceived meaning in life. Religiousness may foster a sense of significance, importance, or mattering-either to others (social mattering) or in the grand scheme of the universe (cosmic mattering)-which, in turn, support perceived meaning. We found that perceived social mattering mediated, but could not fully explain, the link between religiousness and perceived meaning. In contrast, perceived cosmic mattering did fully explain the association. Overall, results suggest that perceived social and cosmic mattering are each part of the explanation. Yet, perceived cosmic mattering appears to be the stronger mechanism. We discuss how religious faith may be especially suited to support such perceptions, making it a partially unique source of felt meaning.
摘要
一项纵向研究和四项横断面研究（总计=3141）检验了宗教与生活意义感知之间关联的两个候选解释。宗教信仰可能会培养一种意义感、重要感或重要性感——要么对他人（社会重要性），要么对宇宙的宏大计划（宇宙重要性），而这反过来又支持了生活意义的感知。我们发现，感知的社会重要性起到了中介作用，但不能完全解释宗教信仰与生活意义感知之间的联系。相比之下，感知的宇宙重要性完全解释了这种关联。总的来说，结果表明感知的社会和宇宙重要性都是解释的一部分。然而，感知的宇宙重要性似乎是更强的机制。我们讨论了宗教信仰如何特别适合支持这种观念，使其成为一种独特的意义来源。
