“…The empirical attention devoted to life purpose in recent decades has produced an abundant amount of evidence pointing to its potential benefits (Sumner, Burrow, & Hill, 2018). Results of contemporary research on this subject indicate that adolescents from different contexts and social classes, in fact, build life purpose (Bronk & Mangan, 2016;Klein & Arantes, 2016;Miranda & Alencar 2017;Riter, Dellazzana-Zanon, & Freitas, 2019;Romero, 2017;Salles & Alencar, 2018;Silva & Bomfim, 2019;Silveira, Machado, Zappe, & Dias, 2015). Studying this theme is important, as the presence of life purpose in adolescence is associated with a series of positive aspects for development (Damon, Menon, & Bronk, 2003), such as healthier and happier life development (McKnight & Kashdan, 2009) and involvement and contribution to the community and society (Johnson, Tirrell, Callina, & Weiner, 2018).…”
