本文提出了一个概念的框架，在世俗文化，如北方欧洲的存在意义制造领域。为了寻求一种可操作的方法，我们已经将该领域的组成部分缩小到一些基本领域和维度，为世俗社会的研究提供了更真实的文化基础。回顾文献，存在意义制造的三个主要领域出现：世俗，精神和宗教。在重新确认这三个领域，我们建议将它们与认知（知道），实践（做）和重要性（存在）的三个维度相结合，从而形成一个概念框架，可以作为一个基本的启发式和方法论的研究工具，用于映射存在意义和健康领域。拟议的网格可能有助于更清楚地理解存在意义的多维性，并作为在该领域提出充分的研究和临床问题的指南。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
This article proposes a framework of concepts for the field of existential meaning-making in secular cultures such as those of Northern Europe. Seeking an operational approach, we have narrowed the field's components down to a number of basic domains and dimensions that provide a more authentic cultural basis for research in secular society. Reviewing the literature, three Main domains of existential meaning-making emerge: Secular, spiritual, and religious. In reconfirming these three domains, we propose to couple them with the three dimensions of cognition (knowing), practice (doing), and importance (being), resulting in a conceptual framework that can serve as a fundamental heuristic and methodological research tool for mapping the field of existential meaning-making and health. The proposed grid might contribute to clearer understanding of the multidimensional nature of existential meaning-making and as a guide for posing adequate research and clinical questions in the field.
