Citations in the corpus
- Sources and motives for personal meaning in adulthood (2013, background): “In a subsequent study comparing meaning in life among young, middleaged and older adults, lower levels of meaning – both in terms of purpose and coherence – were detected among younger participants, especially males (Reker, 2005).”
- Meaning in life and work: A developmental perspective (2015, background): “stagnation stage and further adds to the mixed results of several studies evaluating the relation between age and meaning in life (Fegg et al., 2007; Morgan & Robinson, 2013; Reker, 2005; Steger et al., 2009; Van Ranst & Marcoen, 1997).”
- Meaning in life across the life span: Levels and correlates of meaning in life from emerging adulthood to older adulthood (2009, unknown): “Investigations using the Purpose In Life test (PIL; Crumbaugh & Maholick, 1964) and Life Regard Index (LRI; Battista & Almond, 1973) have usually found higher presence of meaning later in life (e.g., Meier & Edwards, 1974; Reker, 2005; Reker, Peacock, & Wong, 1987; Van Ranst & Marcoen, 1997).”
