Abstract

This study explores relationships between the search for purpose-in-life and "Existential Quest” (ExQ), the reevaluation of existential worldview. We assessed 152 emerging adults for their ExQ, Purpose Exploration (PE), and Commitment (PC) scores. Moderation analysis revealed that ExQ negatively predicts PC and does not moderate the PE-PC relationship.
