The relationship between meaning in life and subjective well-being in China: A Meta-analysis

运用元分析的方法来探讨生命意义与主观幸福感的关系。纳入了符合元分析标准的文献45篇,共51个独立样本,总样本量为27291。元分析结果表明:生命意义与主观幸福感(r=0.505,p<0.001),生活满意度(r=0.395,p<0.001)和积极情感(r=0.325,p<0.001)呈显著正相关,而与消极情感(r=-0.195,p<0.1)呈显著负相关。生命意义与主观幸福感的关系受到性别和被试群体的调节,如性别能显著正向调节二者的关系。结果表明,生命意义能有效预测主观幸福感。

A meta-analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between meaning in life and subjective well-being. Forty-five relevant studies met the criteria of meta-analysis were taken into research. All studies included 51 independent samples with a total of 27291 participants. Results of meta-analysis showed that meaning in life has a positive correlation with subjective well-being （r = 0.505, p 〈 0.001）, life satisfaction （r = 0.395, p 〈 0.001）, and positive affect （r = 0.325, p 〈 0.001） significantly, while a negative relationship with negative affect （r = -0.195, p 〈 0.1）. The relationship between meaning in life and subjective wellbeing was regulated by gender differences and type of participants （e.g. gender differences could significantly positively adjust this relationship）. Results suggested that meaning in life could predict subjective wellbeing effectively.
