一项纵向研究和四项横断面研究(总计N=3,141)检验了宗教信仰与感知生活意义之间的联系的两种候选解释。宗教信仰可能会培养一种意义、重要性或重要性的感觉--无论是对他人(社会重要性)还是对宇宙的宏伟计划(宇宙重要性)--这反过来又支持感知的意义。我们发现，知觉到的社交事件在宗教性和知觉意义之间的联系中起到了中介作用，但不能完全解释。相比之下，感知到的宇宙重要性确实充分解释了这种联系。总体而言，结果表明，感知到的社会和宇宙重要性分别是解释的一部分。然而，被感知到的宇宙重要性似乎是更强大的机制。我们讨论了宗教信仰如何特别适合于支持这种看法，使其成为感觉意义的部分独特来源。
One longitudinal and four cross-sectional studies (total N = 3,141) tested two candidate explanations for the association between religiousness and perceived meaning in life. Religiousness may foster a sense of significance, importance, or mattering—either to others (social mattering) or in the grand scheme of the universe (cosmic mattering)—which, in turn, support perceived meaning. We found that perceived social mattering mediated, but could not fully explain, the link between religiousness and perceived meaning. In contrast, perceived cosmic mattering did fully explain the association. Overall, results suggest that perceived social and cosmic mattering are each part of the explanation. Yet, perceived cosmic mattering appears to be the stronger mechanism. We discuss how religious faith may be especially suited to support such perceptions, making it a partially unique source of felt meaning.
