A sense of identity, authentic relationships with friends and family members and a sense of accomplishment could all help cultivate this attitude, an expert told Newsweek.
The authors found a U-shaped relationship between having meaning in life and age. People developed this attitude with age, peaking at around 60 years of age before declining. The search for meaning hit its lowest point at around this age, too, and then increased.
"People in their forties and fifties usually have more established careers and relationships; many of them have families and children. The active pursuit for meaning decreases and the perception that their life is meaningful increases," said Aftab. Testing for meaning in life could be a way of identifying people vulnerable to poor physical, mental and cognitive health, the researchers wrote in their paper published in theA stock image of a young girl with a big smile throwing confetti in the air. A study has found that people who find meaning in their lives are"physically and psychologically healthier.
Aftab said his team's research provides further impetus for all of us to find activities and relationship that can provide us with a sense of meaning."There is a lot of variation from person to person regarding what creates the perception of a meaningful life, and I think it's safe to say that everyone's path to meaning in life is a little different," he said.
