The Effects of Nostalgia on Meaning in Life, Positive Affect and Gratitude of College Students in Existential Vacuum State
현명호 (중앙대학교)
Abstract
The present study was conducted to examine the effects of the nostalgia on the meaning in life, positive affect, and gratitude of college students in an existential vacuum state. Participants were assigned to three groups: nostalgia group (N=13), daily events reminiscence group (N=13), and waiting-list control group (N=12). Both nostalgia and daily events reminiscence groups went through activities for an average of 20 days. Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire on the meaning in life, the positive affect and gratitude before and after activities, whereas the waiting-list control group filled out a questionnaire pretest (prior to the activity) and posttest (at the completion of activity) without any special treatment. Repeated measure ANOVA was conducted to examine the effects of nostalgia. As a result, the nostalgia group showed significant increase in the meaning in life and gratitude, as compared to the daily events reminiscence group and the control group without any activities. However, nostalgia did not have a significant effect on increasing the positive effects. This study was able to assess that nostalgia can be an effective intervention for finding meaning in life and increasing the gratitude for college students in the state of existential vacuum. Finally, we discuss the limitations of this study and suggestions for further studies.
