Abstract
El objetivo de este trabajo es comprobar qué relación existe entre el sentido
de la vida y la desesperanza en un grupo de 302 sujetos. La hipótesis de
trabajo afirma una relación significativa, de signo negativo, entre ambas variables,
de manera que a mayor logro de sentido se asocian inferiores niveles
de desesperanza y, por el contrario, a vacío existencial se asocian niveles
superiores de desesperanza. Los instrumentos empleados son el Purpose In
Life Test (Test de Sentido de la Vida, PIL; Crumbaugh & Maholick, 1969) y
la Hopelessness Scale (Escala de Desesperanza, HS; Beck, Weissman, Lester
& Trexler, 1974). Los estadísticos usados son el coeficiente de correlación
de Pearson y el coeficiente rho de Spearman (rs). Los resultados (r= -0.550,
p= 0.000; rs= -0.502, p= 0.000) apoyan la hipótesis planteada: el logro
de sentido se asocia a nivel nulo-mínimo de desesperanza, mientras que el
vacío existencial se asocia a nivel moderado-alto de desesperanza, de manera
estadísticamente significativa.
The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship between purpose in life and hopelessness in a sample of 302 subjects. Hypothesis declare that booth variables are significant, negative, associated. Purpose In Life Test (PIL; Crumbaugh & Maholick, 1969) and Hopelessness Scale (HS; Beck, Weissman, Lester & Trexler, 1974) are used. Statistical used are Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Spearman’s rho coefficient. Results (r= -0.550, p= 0.000; rs= -0.502, p= 0.000) support hypothesis: purpose in life is negatively associated to hopelessness. High level of purpose in life involve less hopelessness, and existential vacuum is associated to high level of hopelessness, statistically significant.
