Presence of Meaning in Life Improves Response to Others’ Self-Promotion
Self-promotion is prevalent and aversive. We observe that people who think their life is meaningful tend to experience less negative emotional responses to others’ self-promotional attempts. A simple intervention involving a reflection on the presence of meaning in one’s life significantly improves recipients’ responses to others’ self-promotion.
