nostalgia; social connectedness; self-continuity; meaning in life
Nostalgia increases meaning in life (MIL), but how so? In four experiments-using varied operationalizations of nostalgia, diverse populations, and complementary methodologies-we identified a serial process. We hypothesized and found, in Experiment 1, that self-continuity boosts MIL. We hypothesized and found, in Experiment 2, that nostalgia increases MIL through self-continuity. Finally, we hypothesized and found, in Experiments 3-4, that nostalgia fosters social connectedness, which plausibly heightens self-continuity, which in turn strengthens MIL. The findings clarify an intricate pathway through which nostalgia renders life more meaningful.
