The needs of individual to find meaning in his own life and to build own future conception are considered as important regulators of youth activity. This is a thesis accepted in psychological literature (Tyszkowa, 1990). Their realization is not only provided a positive transition of a youth to adulthood but also sets the framework for their further development. The article presents the results of research on the relation between sense of meaning in life and personal future conceptions built by modern young people. The results indicate that a relatively strong sense of meaning in life is characteristic for these adolescents, which created the conceptions of life with a high level of structuration.

The aim of the article is to present the concept and research on the development of autobiographical narrative in the course of a person’s life. Reference was made to basic concepts important for the analysis of the topic: the definition of narrative, constructionist assumptions, understanding the process of creating self-narrative and the definition of autobiographical narrative. The considerations also include the issue of autobiographical memory and the discussion on understanding autobiographical narrative as monolithic vs. polyphonic. The following subchapters discuss the predispositions and development of early narrative competences, the beginnings of constructing an autobiographical narrative, the mechanisms of shaping and changing the autobiographical narrative in adulthood, including the characteristic features of self-narratives in late adulthood. The review of research presented in the article documents the mechanisms of shaping the autobiographical narrative, the directions of its changes in the life course and selected relationships important for understanding the process of these changes (e.g. the issue of increasing the ability to reflect biographically with age, fulfilling the need for generativity, the effect of intentionally minimizing unpleasant feelings in senior age, the concept of gerotranscendence, etc.). The article ends with reflections on the importance of constructing an autobiographical narrative in the modern world, the availability of autobiographical reflection and its meaning-creating value.

Man’s spirituality is part of individual inner experience e.g. awareness of making one’s own choices, subjectivity, aspirations, preferred values and their criteria, open-mindedness towards oneself and others, readiness to contradict evil, and striving to realize the purpose of life. The multifaceted construct of SoL embraces: 1) life affirmation, 2) self-acceptance, 3) goal awareness, 4) sense of freedom, 5) valuation of future, and 6) attitude towards death. The objective of my empirical research was to determine the intensity of SoL among students of pedagogy and to establish which components of meaning of life co-condition the level of SoL intensity. Test group : a representative group of pedagogy students at the University of Szczecin: 683 people. The designed SoL test is based on the PIL (Purpose in Life) format- Crumbaugh-Maholick Purpose-in-Life Test. The results of research prove empirical theses stated on the grounds of logotheory and logotherapy (e.g. about the significance of the attitude towards death for the attitude towards life, and the sense of freedom as a mechanism facilitating transcendence).

Celem prezentowanych badań była weryfikacja zależności między nadzieją podstawową a poczuciem sensu życia i lękiem przed śmiercią u młodzieży akademickiej. Zastosowano trzy metody do pomiaru zmiennych: Kwestionariusz Nadziei Podstawowej (BHI-12) Jerzego Trzebińskiego i Mariusza Zięby, Skalę Sensu Życia (PLT) J. C. Crumbaugha oraz Kwestionariusz Lęku Przed Śmiercią i Umieraniem (FVTS) Randolfa Ochsmanna. Uzyskane rezultaty badań potwierdzają postawione hipotezy o istnieniu związków pomiędzy poziomem nadziei podstawowej a poczuciem sensu życia i lękiem przed śmiercią: im wyższa nadzieja podstawowa, tym wyższe poczucie sensu życia oraz im wyższy poziom nadziei podstawowej, tym mniejszy lęk przed śmiercią. Lęk przed śmiercią w okresie podejmowania samodzielnego życia wyraża się przede wszystkim w obawie przed unicestwieniem, utratą własnego „ja” oraz w lęku przed utratą bliskich osób.

The aim of the study was to verify the relationship between basic hope and a sense of the meaning in life and the fear of death. Three methods were used to measure the variables: Basic Hope Inventory (BHI-12) of J. Trzebinski and M. Zieba, Purpose of Life Test (PLT) of J.C. Crumbaugh and L.T. Maholick and Fear of Death and Dying Scale (FVTS) of R. Ochsmann. The results of studies confirm hypotheses about the existence of relationships between the level of basic hope and a sense of meaning in life and fear of death. The higher the basic hope, the higher meaning of life; the higher the level of basic hope, the less fear of death. Fear of death during independent life period is expressed mainly in fear of annihilation, loss of one’s “self” and the fear of losing people who one loves.

Artykuł dotyczy zależności między religijnością ujmowaną w ramach religijnego systemu znaczeń i religijnego radzenia sobie a dobrostanem eudajmonistycznym w mediacyjnej perspektywie poczucia sensu życia. Aby zweryfikować postawione hipotezy, przeprowadzono dwa badania empiryczne (N = 187 i N = 177 osób) mające na celu określenie charakteru i stopnia powiązań między wymienionymi czynnikami. Wyniki ukazały, że religijny system znaczeń pozytywnie wiązał się z dobrostanem eudajmonistycznym, podczas gdy negatywna strategia religijnego radzenia wykazywała ujemne związki. Wystąpiły także pozytywne związki między religijnością i wymiarami poczucia sensu życia: obecnością i poszukiwaniem. Wymiar obecności sensu życia, w przeciwieństwie do poszukiwania sensu, okazał się mediatorem w relacjach religijnego systemu znaczeń i religijnego radzenia sobie z dobrostanem eudajmonistycznym.

The article concerns the relationships between religion, analyzed within the framework of the religious meaning system, and religious coping as well as eudaimonistic well-being in the mediational perspective of meaning in life. In order to verify the hypotheses, two empirical studies (N = 187 and N = 177 people) were carried out to determine the nature and extent of the relationships between the above factors. The results showed that the religious meaning system was positively linked to eudaimonistic well-being, while negative religious strategy showed a negative relationship with it. There was also a positive relationship between religiosity and the dimensions of meaning in life: presence and search. The presence of meaning in life, in contrast to search, turned out to be a mediator in the relationships of the religious meaning system and religious coping with eudaimonistic well-being.
