许多理论观点认为，违反期望（EV）威胁到一个人的意义感，并促使人们努力恢复意义。然而，几乎没有研究明确研究电动汽车是否预测了寻找意义的实际努力。目前的研究在乳腺癌幸存者样本中弥补了文献中的这一差距。结果显示，电动汽车，而不是生活满意度，积极预测寻找意义。相比之下，电动汽车和生活满意度都可以预测意义的存在。此外，电动汽车预测，在那些同时相信自己的生活具有高度意义的参与者中，对意义的追求会增加。因此，个人电动汽车可以提供一个令人信服的框架，以理解是什么促使人们寻找意义。
A number of theoretical perspectives suggest that expectancy violations (EVs) threaten a person’s sense of meaning and prompt efforts to reinstate meaning. Yet, little to no research has explicitly examined whether EVs predict actual efforts to search for meaning. The current research redresses this gap in the literature among a sample of breast cancer survivors. The results revealed that EVs, but not life satisfaction, positively predicted the search for meaning. By comparison, the presence of meaning was predicted by both EVs and life satisfaction. Further, EVs predicted an increased search for meaning among participants who simultaneously believed that their life had high levels of meaning. Thus, personal EVs may offer a compelling framework for understanding what prompts searches for meaning.
