Meaning in Life in Emerging Adulthood: Links to Trauma History, Disorganized Attachment Stances, and Social Support.

We found that young adults’ greater trauma history, greater disorganization/disorientation with fathers, less social support, and less affective caregiving with mothers were associated with less meaning presence. Disorganization/disorientation with fathers and social support mediated trauma and meaning’s relations. Results highlight disorganization/disorientation and social support’s importance for trauma and meaning-related research.
