摘要
Two studies examined the interaction between subjective well-being (SWB) and meaning in life (MIL) vis-a-vis self-perceptions of actual or potential threats to one's physical and mental integrity, hereby defined as the hostile-world scenario (HWS). Study 1 (N=608) showed that the relationship between SWB and MIL strengthened as the HWS increase]. Study 2 (Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe; SHARE-Israel; N=1665) similarly showed that SWB and MIL were strongly linked as lifetime cumulative adversity, the ultimate realization of the HWS, increased. Study 2 further showed that when one construct (whether SWB or MIL) was low, the other construct acted as a moderator of the effect of cumulative adversity on functioning. In conclusion, although SWB and MIL are more strongly linked under adverse circumstances, they are likely to compensate for each other, perhaps due to their unique operations.
