摘要: 针对疫情带来的存在性危机，存在主义心理学家重提自我超越的重要性。中国哲学思想中蕴含着丰富的不同于西方的自我超越思想，可以为个体重塑生命意义提供思路。本研究的目的在于探究象征性不朽在自我超越与生命意义关系中的中介作用，采用横断研究与日记研究的方法，无论是在个体内还是个体间，象征性不朽的中介作用都成立。讨论部分探讨了自我超越概念内涵的文化差异以及未来展望。
Abstract: In response to the pandemic’s existential crisis, existential psychologists are revisiting the importance of self-transcendence. Chinese philosophy contains rich ideas of self-transcendence, which are different from those of the west and can provide ideas for individuals to reshape the meaning in life. This study aimed to explore the mediating effect of symbolic immortality on the relationship between self-transcendence and meaning in life. Through cross-sectional study and diary study, the results showed that mediating effect of symbolic immortality is valid both within and between individuals. The discussion section explored the cultural differences and prospects of the concept of self-transcendence.
