体验生活意义(MIL)和心理健康(PWB)在成年初期是一项重要的发展任务，在西方社会，由于其过渡性和特征的性质，可能比生活中的任何其他时期都更重要。本研究以333名西班牙初出茅庐的成年人(女性224人，男性109人)为研究对象，年龄17-26岁，M=21.06，SD=2.23，分析了MIL和PWB之间的关系，以及根据MIL水平(缺乏意义、不确定意义和存在意义)的差异。两个西班牙版本的生活目标测验和Ryff心理健康量表都被使用。Spearman‘s相关系数显示MIL与PWB(总体和维度)呈显著正相关。Kruskal-Wallis测验显示，意义缺失、意义不确定和意义群存在之间的PWB存在显著差异，但在自主性上，只有意义群存在和不确定意义群之间存在显著差异。MIL与直接指向PWB的认知、情绪和动机方面有关：积极的自我价值和自我接纳，对自由、责任和自我决定的感知和体验，对生活整体和未来的积极看法，对重大生存目标的目的和承诺，自我优势和对他人的开放，对逆境的综合但不是听天由命的应对，生活满意度和自我实现。
Experiencing meaning in life (MiL) and psychological well-being (PWB) is an important developmental task in emerging adulthood, perhaps more than in any other period in life due to its transitional character and to the nature of its features, in Western societies. This study analyzes the relationship between MiL and PWB, as well as the differences in PWB according to the level of MiL (lack of meaning, indefinite meaning, and presence of meaning), in a sample of 333 Spanish emerging adults (224 women, 109 men), age ranged from 17 to 26 years, M = 21.06, SD = 2.23. Both Spanish versions of the Purpose-In-Life Test and the Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-Being were used. The Spearman's coefficient of correlation showed a positive, significant relationship between MiL and PWB (global and dimensions). The Kruskal-Wallis test showed significant differences in PWB between lack of meaning, indefinite meaning, and presence of meaning groups, except in Autonomy, in which only the difference between the presence of meaning group and the indefinite meaning group was significant. MiL is associated to the cognitive, emotional, and motivational aspects that directly point to PWB: positive self-worth and self-acceptance, perception and experience of freedom, responsibility and self-determination, positive view of both life as a whole and future, purpose and commitment of significant existential goals, self-trascendence and opening up to the others, integrative but not resigned coping of the adversity, life satisfaction, and self-realization.
