“…The psychological needs have a negative relation with avoidance coping. Similar findings were shown by Bakracheva (2019), with students and non-student participants. Similar relations with adaptive strategies were also found in the academic context (Amiot et al, 2008;Shih, 2019).…”

This study investigated the relations between basic psychological needs, coping strategies, procrastination, anxiety, depression, and stress, in the scope of self-determination theory (SDT) and healthy aging. A sample of university adult students (N = 221) aged 18-69 years old, filled a set of questionnaires assessing these variables. The results showed that total basic psychological needs satisfaction has a positive relation with proactive coping, strategic planning, preventive coping, and instrumental support seeking, and a negative relation with procrastination, avoidance coping and anxiety, depression and stress. Proactive coping and strategic planning partially mediates the relationship between basic psychological needs total and procrastination. As age increased, there was more competence satisfaction, more adaptive coping strategies, and less procrastination, and anxiety, depression and stress. The results also emphasize the role of basic psychological needs as an important construct that may contribute to lower academic procrastination levels, through an increase of adaptive coping strategies. These results are discussed in the context of healthy aging, and how the academic context may increase the basic psychological needs satisfaction.

“…Results are few. There may be no effect of conspiracy beliefs on expressed meaning in life (Bakracheva 2019), whereas the search for meaning may pos sibly be positively correlated (Graeupner and Coman 2017). Most conspiracy believers may find some meaning, not desperation in their beliefs, and it may be that the grasping at those feelings of meaning is one of the reasons why conspiracy beliefs are hard to shake (van Prooijen and Acker 2015).…”

Crises are associated with a search for meaning and security. In recent years, they have also been associated with increased attention to conspiracy theories. Such theories about COVID-19 have been many. We have looked at several COVID-specific conspiracy theories and their relation to a number of other factors, including religiosity in a highly educated Norwegian convenience sample (n=1225). Conspiracy mentality, lack of trust, and religiosity were directly associated with conspiracy beliefs about COVID-19, whereas self-reported stress and negative emotions related to the pandemic had only small, indirect effects. Unlike previous research findings, we found no effect of gender or age.

“…At the same time, search for meaning had a mediatory effect on this relationship in none of the seven models. These outcomes deserve special attention since they seem to confirm that both components of meaning, although sharing some aspects in common (Bakracheva, 2019), are independent (Steger et al, 2011) and may play different roles in the context of acceptance of illness and psychological adaptability (Kossakowska et al, 2013). More precisely, our findings show that the acceptance of illness is related to increased well-being when people who struggle with chronic disease alter their viewpoint on life, reconsider their values and priorities, give meaning to their health condition, and have a sense of continuous growth and development as a person (Staniszewska et al, 2017).…”

Disease Acceptance and Eudemonic Well-Being Among Adults With Physical Disabilities: The Mediator Effect of Meaning in Life

et al. 2020

The acceptance of disability is recognized as one of the most frequently mentioned factors that plays a particularly significant role in subjective well-being. However, so far, only a very small amount of research has been undertaken to clarify how and why acceptance of illness relates to eudemonic well-being. Hence, comprehension of the direct and indirect effects underlying this relationship seems essential for interventions that increase the recovery of people with impairments and enhance their quality of life. The current research was aimed at investigating the association between acceptance of illness, meaning in life, and eudemonic well-being, as well as the possible mediatory effect of meaning in life on the relationship between acceptance of illness and well-being. The sample consisted of 102 participants (71% women) aged between 20 and 64 years. The respondents had a range of different impairments (e.g., cerebral palsy, neurological disorders, spinal muscular atrophy, and sight defects). The Acceptance of Illness Scale, the Meaning in Life Questionnaire, and the Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-Being were used. It was confirmed that acceptance of illness correlated positively and significantly with the presence of meaning, self-acceptance, positive relations, environmental mastery, personal growth, general well-being, cohesion, flexibility, communication, and family satisfaction. The presence of meaning mediated the relationship between acceptance of illness and general well-being with its four other dimensions: selfacceptance, environmental mastery, purpose in life, and personal growth. Conversely, the search for meaning did not have any mediatory effect on this relationship.
