生命史策略与生命意义：负向亲密关系经历的遮掩效应
Life History Strategy and Meaning in Life: The Masking Effect of Negative Intimate Relationship Experiences
摘要: 基于生命史理论，本研究探讨了生命史策略与生命意义感之间的关系，并关注了以负向亲密关系经历为指标的依恋不安全感的中介作用。179名成年人完成了自我报告问卷。自助法中介分析显示：生命史策略对生命意义感具有显著的正向直接效应(β = 0.38)；生命史策略与负向亲密关系经历呈负相关，且在控制直接效应后，负向亲密关系经历与生命意义感呈显著的正向净相关；该间接效应显著(β = −0.03)，方向与直接效应相反，形成不一致中介模式(即遮掩效应)。结果表明，负向亲密关系经历在生活史策略与生命意义感之间扮演了遮掩者的角色。本研究通过揭示人际体验与存在性结果之间存在的抑制性通路，为生命史理论提供了新的实证依据。
Abstract: Based on life history theory, this study aimed to examine the relationship between life history strategy and meaning in life, with a particular focus on the mediating role of attachment insecurity, indexed by negative intimate relationship experiences. A total of 179 adults completed a series of self-report questionnaires. Bootstrap mediation analysis revealed that life history strategy had a significant positive direct effect on meaning in life (β = 0.38). Life history strategy was negatively associated with negative intimate relationship experiences, and after controlling for the direct effect, negative intimate relationship experiences showed a significant positive partial correlation with meaning in life. The indirect effect was significant (β = −0.03) and opposite in direction to the direct effect, indicating an inconsistent mediation pattern (i.e., a suppression effect). These findings suggest that negative intimate relationship experiences play a suppressing role in the relationship between life history strategy and meaning in life. By revealing an inhibitory pathway between interpersonal experiences and existential outcomes, this study provides new empirical evidence for life history theory.
