A total of 145 adults participated in the study (psychiatric patients, N = 28; healthy community adults, N = 117). Statistical analyses were first conducted to control for the effects of the observed differences in age and gender between samples. Results showed a significant relation between purpose in life and perceived health even after controlling for population. In both community and inpatient populations, purpose in life correlated with fewer somatic concerns. We discuss the benefits of incorporating a sense of directedness with prevention and treatment purposes. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 0.517 2019 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 126 / 138 = 0.913 2019 Q4 T3 0.227 2019 Psychology (miscellaneous) 2019 Q3 Social Psychology 2019 Q4 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Valdivia-Salas, Sonsoles Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0242-5972 Martín-Albo, José Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-4417-5470 Zaldívar, Pablo J.L.
