本文讨论了生命意义的重要理论，以及意义对焦虑和抑郁的假设影响。这些理论的一个共同点——充满希望的思维——在目标导向的希望模型的背景下得到了强调（Snyder et al., 1991）。有人提出，希望是所有意义理论的共同组成部分。我们对 139 名大学生进行了意义、希望、抑郁和焦虑量表。因素分析揭示了意义量表和希望测量背后的单一因素，提供了希望是意义的组成部分的证据。此外，在回归分析中，对希望的统计控制削弱了意义与抑郁和焦虑之间的相关性。在控制意义时，希望与抑郁或焦虑之间的相关性也发现了类似的结果。
In this article, important theories of life meaning are discussed, as are the hypothesized effects of meaning on anxiety and depression. A commonality among these theories-hopeful thinking-is highlighted in the context of a goal-directed model of hope (Snyder et al., 1991). It is proposed that hope is a component common to all theories of meaning. We administered scales of meaning, hope, depression, and anxiety to 139 college students. Factor analysis reveals a single factor underlying the meaning scales and hope measure, offering evidence that hope is a component of meaning. Additionally, in regression analyses, statistically controlling for hope attenuates the correlations between meaning and both depression and anxiety. Similar results are found for the correlations between hope and depression or anxiety, when controlling for meaning.
