          Abstract

          Se analizan las relaciones entre la orientación religiosa y el Sentido de la Vida en una muestra de 180 universitarios españoles (rango de edad 1855, Μ = 22.91, DE = 6.71), medidos a través de versiones españolas de la Religious Orientation Scale y del Purpose-in-Life Test, respectivamente. De ser cierta la concepción de Batson y Ventis de que la orientación de Búsqueda es madura y flexible, mientras que la Intrínseca es dogmática y acrítica, debería ser aquella la que se relacionara de manera más positiva con el Sentido de la Vida. Contrariamente a esto, los resultados confirman lo obtenido en investigaciones anteriores, siendo la orientación Intrínseca la que explica el mayor porcentaje de la varianza de Sentido de la Vida. Esto cuestiona el planteamiento de Batson y Ventis, y plantea la posibilidad de que las convicciones religiosas intrínsecas sean una fuente de sentido.

          Translated abstract

          This paper analyzes the relationship between religious orientation and Meaning in Life, in a sample of 180 Spanish undergraduates (age range 18-55, Μ = 22.91, SD = 6.71), measured by means of both Spanish versions of the Religious Orientation Scale and the Purpose-In-Life Test, respectively. The starting point is the Batson and Ventis' conception that the Quest orientation is mature and flexible, but the Intrinsic orientation is dogmatic and uncritical. If it is so, the Quest orientation should be related more positively to meaning in life. Our results indicate that the Intrinsic orientation, but not Quest, explains a higher percentage of the variance of the Meaning in Life, confirming the results obtained in previous research. Batson and Ventis' approach is questioned, and it raises the possibility that intrinsic religious convictions are a source of meaning.
