Sense of Purpose in Life and Likelihood of Future Illicit Drug Use or Prescription Medication Misuse (Kim et al.)

This study pack contains the peer-reviewed article by Eric S. Kim and colleagues examining the relationship between sense of purpose in life and the likelihood of future illicit drug use or prescription medication misuse. Drawing on MIDUS data, the paper advances understanding of midlife psychological resources as protective factors against substance misuse. It teaches empirical methods linking purpose-in-life measures to health-behaviour outcomes and contributes to research on positive psychology and midlife development.
