Abstract

The findings highlight the complex interplay between religious affiliation, attachment to God, and synchronicity experiences in shaping perceptions of life meaning across different cultural contexts. The study extends attachment theory and synchronicity research, offering insights into meaning-making processes and wellbeing. Future research should employ longitudinal and experimental designs to further validate these relationships and explore implications for enhancing MIL across diverse populations.
