Developing Adler's spiritual dimension corresponds to which life task?

• A. Friendship
• B. Meaning connectedness
• C. Work
• D. Self-acceptance

Answer: (B)

In Adlerian theory, the spiritual dimension is about meaning, purpose, and feeling connected to something larger than oneself. Developing this aspect means cultivating meaning connectedness—the sense that life has purpose, that you belong to and contribute to a larger whole, and that your actions reflect core values. This is why the life task most closely aligned with the spiritual dimension is meaning connectedness.

Friendship centers on forming social bonds and demonstrating social interest; work focuses on contribution and usefulness through what you do in the world; self-acceptance deals with how you relate to and value yourself. Each is important, but they target different facets than the spiritual dimension’s focus on meaning and overarching connectedness.
