Note. One item in the GSIS meaning in life subscale has some content overlap with the perceived burdensomeness scale (i.e., “Others need me”). Therefore the path analysis was run with this item removed from the meaning in life subscale. The same pattern of results was obtained, including significance values. Thus, results from the model with the full GSIS subscale are presented.
