Citations in the corpus
- The three meanings of meaning in life: Distinguishing coherence, purpose, and significance (2016, unknown): “Despite these advancements, many observers (e.g. Heintzelman & King, 2014a; Leontiev, 2013) have noted that the field still suffers from definitional ambiguity and simplified approaches that neglect the complexity and conceptual range of meaning in life as a construct.”
- The Multidimensional Existential Meaning Scale: A tripartite approach to measuring meaning in life (2017, background): “Unfortunately, the current MIL literature is hampered by conceptual problems and corresponding measurement problems (George & Park, 2016; Leontiev, 2013).”
- Meaning in Life as Comprehension, Purpose, and Mattering: Toward Integration and New Research Questions (2016, background): “Contemporary psychology has also taken an interest in this concept, and MIL has increasingly been the topic of copious research (e.g., Hicks & Routledge, 2013; Leontiev, 2013; Wong, 2012).”
- Psychology, Meaning Making, and the Study of Worldviews: Beyond Religion and Non-Religion (2018, background): “Thus, for example, Baumeister (1991, 15, quoted in Leontiev, 2013, p. 466), defines meanings as “mental representations of possible relationships among things, events, and relationships.””
- Pedagogical principles that support the prioritisation of meaningful experiences in physical education: conceptual and practical considerations (2021, background): “Similarly, interpretations of meaningfulness are not constructed solely within but in relation to a broader culture, where individuals make connections to ‘something that reaches beyond the actual experience, linking it to something else’ (Leontiev 2013, 462).”
