摘要

A growing literature suggests meaning-in-life protects against suicide risk, but has not applied contemporary models of meaning. We utilize the tripartite model of meaning to examine the relationships of its three dimensions – Coherence, Purpose, and Mattering – to suicidal desire. In two samples (undergraduates and community) we examined: 1) the structure of the tripartite model, 2) zero-order correlations between each meaning dimension and suicidal desire, and 3) unique associations between each meaning dimension and suicidal desire (controlling for the other dimensions). The tripartite structure showed good evidence of fit in undergraduates and mixed evidence in community participants. Tripartite dimensions exhibited moderate to large associations with suicidal desire. Only Mattering maintained a unique association with suicidal desire across both samples. This unique relationship was stronger in the undergraduate versus community sample. Future research should explore whether Mattering matters more than other facets of meaning for protecting against suicide risk.
