Eudaimonic conceptions of well-being, meaning in life, and self-reported well-being: Initial test of a mediational model (2011, methodology): “We included the hedonic subscales of the BWBS in this analysis because previous empirical evidence has found an association between positive hedonic experiences and evaluations of meaning in life (e.g., Hicks & King, 2009).”
The True Self and Psychological Health: Emerging Evidence and Future Directions (2011, background): “Previous research has shown that making an important source of meaning accessible influences subsequent judgments of meaning in life (e.g., Hicks & King, 2008, 2009b; Hicks, Schlegel, & King, 2010; King et al., 2006).”
A Meaningful Life is a Healthy Life: A Conceptual Model Linking Meaning and Meaning Salience to Health (2018, background): “Some efforts have been made to experimentally influence meaning in life through manipulations of positive affect (Hicks & King, 2007, 2008, 2009; King et al., 2006).”

Social connectedness as a source and consequence of meaning in life (2016, background): “…have shown that the sense of belonging, anticipated social support, and received emotional support are all positively associated with meaning in life (Hicks & King, 2009; Hicks, Schlegel, & King, 2010; Krause, 2007; Lambert et al., 2013), whereas social exclusion reliably leads to meaning loss.”
An applied framework for Positive Education (2013, background): “Social relationships have also been found to be important predictors of subjective wellbeing (Myers, 2000), and meaning in life (Hicks & King, 2009).”
