Abstract

This study examines the relationship between spinal cord injury (SCI) and purpose in life as measured by the Purpose in Life Test (PIL). Fifty-four males were involved in the study: 15 SCI university students, 19 nondisabled university students, and 20 SCI nonstudents. Comparisons between groups were generally nonsignificant, but lower PIL scores were found for paraplegic individuals. In addition, religious conviction was found to be significantly related to purpose in life scores for SCI persons.
