为了推进生活意义(MIL)的研究，至关重要的是将其与更广泛的意义文献相结合，其中包括重要的附加概念(例如，意义框架)和原则(例如，恐怖管理)。将MIL概念化为三个子结构--理解、目的和重要--的三方观点可能会促进这种整合。在这里，我们概述了三方观点如何与MIL研究中的关键概念(例如MIL判断和感觉)以及更广泛的意义研究中的关键概念(例如意义框架、意义形成)相关联。在这个框架的基础上，我们回顾了更广泛的意义的文献，以得出一个理论背景，在其中理解和进行进一步的研究理解，目的，和物质。我们强调未来的研究可能会如何检验3个MIL亚结构、MIL判断和感觉以及意义框架之间的相互关系。
To advance meaning in life (MIL) research, it is crucial to integrate it with the broader meaning literature, which includes important additional concepts (e.g., meaning frameworks) and principles (e.g., terror management). A tripartite view, which conceptualizes MIL as consisting of 3 subconstructs-comprehension, purpose, and mattering-may facilitate such integration. Here, we outline how a tripartite view may relate to key concepts from within MIL research (e.g., MIL judgments and feelings) and within the broader meaning research (e.g., meaning frameworks, meaning making). On the basis of this framework, we review the broader meaning literature to derive a theoretical context within which to understand and conduct further research on comprehension, purpose, and mattering. We highlight how future research may examine the interrelationships among the 3 MIL subconstructs, MIL judgments and feelings, and meaning frameworks.
