摘要: 本研究采用问卷法考察了235名被试的希望、乐观两种未来积极预期对生命意义的影响。结果发现：(1)希望、乐观和生命意义之间有显著的正相关；(2)希望和乐观单独对生命意义的回归方程均显著，而且希望比乐观能够解释更多的生命意义的变异；(3)希望的动力思维维度在乐观对生命意义的影响中起完全中介的作用。结果表明：希望和乐观两种不同的未来积极预期都能预测生命意义，且希望的预测力更强；希望对生命意义有直接的预测作用，而乐观则需要通过影响个体的希望来间接地提供生命意义。
Abstract: In this study, the questionnaires of 235 subjects were investigated, and the effects of the two prospective positive expectations (hope and optimism) on the meaning of life were discussed. The results showed that (1) the correlations between hope, optimism and meaning in life were all statistically significant; (2) hope and optimism can predict meaning in life independently in regression model, and only hope would predict meaning in life when optimism and hope simultaneously entered the model; (3) the agency of hope fully mediated the relationship between optimism and meaning in life. The results suggested that two different prospective expectations, both hope and optimism can predict meaning in life , and hope is more efficient than optimism to contribute to meaning in life; there is direct effect of hope on meaning in life, and optimism need to influence the individual’s hope to indirectly provide meaning in life.
