Abstract:
The meaning of human life is a complex and multifaceted concept. One way to understand the meaning of life is to consider the functionally social spheres, which are areas of life where people can realize their personal meanings.

This study investigated the indicators of predisposition to the choice of functionally social spheres. A sample of 1,110 respondents completed a self-assessment questionnaire designed by the authors. The results of the study identified six indicators of predisposition to the choice of functionally social spheres: gender, main occupation, marital status, education, average income per family member, and age.

The study also explored the implications of these indicators for the learning process. The findings suggest that curricula should contain methods that allow satisfying the predisposition to a certain functional area. Additionally, students, knowing their predisposition, can prioritize learning and studying educational material.

These findings have important implications for understanding the meaning of human life and for developing interventions to promote well-being in education. By identifying the indicators of predisposition to the choice of functionally social spheres and understanding their implications for the learning process, it is possible to develop interventions that help people to make choices that are consistent with their personal meanings and that contribute to their well-being in education.
