Meaning-focused Intervention in the Army

The purpose of this research is to contribute to the empirical study of meaningful life interventions in the general population, since it is a sample of active professionals. To get the research objectives, two studies are proposed. In the present investigation the effects of two interventions in meaningful life will be analyzed and will be compared with a control group. The first group will be an intervention based on meaningful life (MLI), the second group an intervention based on meaningful life and emotional regulation (MIL+ER) and the third group will be a control group on the waiting list. The assignment will be random and both programs will consist of six sessions, once a week, of 120 minutes. Prior to the main study, a pilot study will be carried out with the aim of describing the possible individual benefits of the meaningful life intervention, and at the same time analyzing whether emotional regulation favors meaningful life. The acceptability and feasibility of both programs will also be evaluated.
