Objective: Self-transcendence is the experience of feeling connected to something greater than oneself. Previous studies have shown high scores on self-transcendence are associated with well-being and other psychological benefits, but have rarely examined the lived experiences of highly self-transcendent people.
Method: Black and White men and women in late-midlife completed Life Story Interviews and self-report measures of self-transcendence.
