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).”
Positive mood and social relatedness as information about meaning in life (2009, methodology): “…life suggests that life is not meaningful, this information is unlikely to be used in judgments of meaning in life, a contention supported by research showing that when Christians were primed with words related to hell, religious commitment no longer predicted meaning in life (Hicks & King, 2008).”
Meaning in Life as a Subjective Judgment and a Lived Experience (2009, background): “…life even after controlling for a variety of theoretically more relevant variables, including goal pursuit and progress (King et al., 2006) religious faith (Hicks & King, 2008), depression, selfesteem, religious commitment, autonomy, competence, and social relatedness (Lambert et al., forthcoming).”
Purpose in Life as a System that Creates and Sustains Health and Well-Being: An Integrative, Testable Theory (2009, background): “For example, a person with a religious-based purpose viewing a sacred artifact may activate all the memories of religious activities, historical events, or feelings associated with being religious (for related ﬁndings, see Hicks & King, 2008).”
Beyond the Search for Meaning (2016, background): “…lonely, who lack religious faith, and who are poor, a pretty good mood can facilitate a level of meaning in life commensurate with that of people who have many friends, religious faith, and high levels of financial resources (Hicks & King, 2008; Hicks, Schlegel, & King, 2010; Ward & King, 2016).”
Meaningfulness as Satisfaction of Autonomy, Competence, Relatedness, and Beneficence: Comparing the Four Satisfactions and Positive Affect as Predictors of Meaning in Life (2018, background): “These results have been replicated in subsequent studies (Hicks et al. 2010; Hicks and King 2008) that have shown, for example, that individuals rely on PA in their MIL judgments when they have been primed with loneliness, which, makes an alternative source of meaning, namely belongingness, less…”
A Confirmatory Factor-Analytic Evaluation of the Purpose in Life Test: Preliminary Psychometric Support for a Replicable Two-Factor Model (2010, background): “King, Joshua Hicks, and colleagues have utilized McGregor and Little’s three-item meaning factor (items 3, 17, and 20), coupled with item 4 (personal existence being meaningful), in a series of studies relating to positive affect and meaning in relation to each other, as well as with other construct”
Finding Meaning in Nostalgia (2018, background): “Nevertheless, we will report such tests in regards to meaning in life, given that positive affect (including happiness) is a correlate of this construct (Baumeister et al., 2013; Hicks & King, 2008; Ward & King, 2016).”
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).”
