This study tests associations between purpose in life and coping, and whether coping mediates the association between purpose and cognitive function. Longitudinal data from the Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS) study were used to investigate associations between purpose at MIDUS I and coping at MIDUS II ( = 2386). Emotion-focused and problem-focused coping were tested as mediators between purpose and cognitive function (memory, executive function, global cognition) at MIDUS III. Higher purpose was associated with more problem-focused and less emotion-focused coping. Coping partially mediated the association between purpose and cognitive function. Emotion-focused coping partially mediated (14.3%) the effect of purpose on cognitive function. Problem-focused coping partially mediated (16.7%) the association of purpose on episodic memory, but not executive function or global cognition. These findings provide new evidence for links between purpose and coping and suggest coping is one mechanism linking purpose with better cognitive function.
本研究测试了生活目的与应对方式之间的关联，以及应对方式是否在生活目的与认知功能之间的关联中起中介作用。来自美国中年发展（MIDUS）研究的纵向数据被用于调查MIDUS I时的生活目的与MIDUS II时的应对方式之间的关联（n = 2386）。在MIDUS III时，以情绪为中心和以问题为中心的应对方式被测试为生活目的与认知功能（记忆、执行功能、整体认知）之间的中介变量。更高的生活目的与更多以问题为中心的应对方式以及更少以情绪为中心的应对方式相关联。应对方式部分中介了生活目的与认知功能之间的关联。以情绪为中心的应对方式部分中介了（14.3%）生活目的对认知功能的影响。以问题为中心的应对方式部分中介了（16.7%）生活目的与情景记忆之间的关联，但未中介执行功能或整体认知与生活目的之间的关联。这些发现为生活目的与应对方式之间的联系提供了新证据，并表明应对方式是将生活目的与更好的认知功能联系起来的一种机制。
