19 Mar To examine the fresh new sum regarding genuine notice-style accessibility to definition in daily life a simultaneous regression is actually calculated
Actual self-concept accessibility, PA, NA, true self-concept liking, actual self-concept liking, the overlap between true and actual self-concepts, authenticity, state self-esteem, and basic need satisfaction were entered as covariates. These effects contributed to a significant change in R 2 (R 2 change = .56, p < .001). The overlap variable (? = .21, p < .01) and authenticity (? = .34, p < .01) both predicted enhanced meaning in life ratings. While controlling for these substantial predictors of meaning in life, true self-concept accessibility remained independently and significantly related to meaning in life (? = .19, p < .05). Actual self-concept accessibility was again unrelated to meaning in life (p > .10). It is notable that among these predictors, true self-concept accessibility is the only significant predictor that does not share method variance with (self-reported) meaning in life.
