Moderated mediation analysis demonstrates that meaning in life bridges spiritual resilience and moral maturity in adults, highlighting the strengthening effect of religious education.
This study examined the mediating role of life in meaning and the moderating effect of religion education on the relationship between spiritual resilience and moral maturity. Data were collected using the Moral Maturity Scale, The Spiritual Resilience Scale and Meaning in Life Scale. The participants consisted of 203 women and 133 men aged 19–63 living in Turkey. Spiritual resilience, moral maturity, life in meaning and religion education were tested in the study using Hayes Process Macro Model 8 moderated mediation. The results revealed that life in meaning mediates the relationship between spiritual resilience and moral maturity. Additionally, the mediating model was found to be stronger among individuals who had received religion education. Furthermore, receiving religion education was found to have a moderating effect on the relationship between spiritual resilience and the presence of the meaning sub-dimension. These findings were discussed in the context of relevant literature.
