| Résumé: | Spiritual transcendence represents a trait-based motivational construct hypothesized to underlie individuals’ efforts at creating a personal sense of meaning. Although a significant predictor of spiritual behaviors and aspirations, spiritual transcendence alone cannot be considered a complete explanation for all types of personal meaning. Working out of the writings of Victor Frankl, the Logoplex is presented as a theoretical framework for better understanding spiritual orientations within a broader framework of personal meaning creation. Transpersonalism vs. Materialism and Relationalism vs. Intentionalism are the orthogonal dimensions proposed to define the Logoplex. In order to test this model, a sample of 185 undergraduate volunteers completed several measures deemed to be appropriate markers of these two underlying dimensions. A factor analysis provided empirical support for the proposed model. The practical implications of the Logoplex for understanding people were discussed. |
