ABSTRACT
The challenge of pursuing, developing, and maintaining a sense of life’s meaning is an undeniable part of human existence. Prominent scholars have suggested that struggling to find meaning in life is centrally important and may be inherent to all people (Binswanger, 1963; Boss, 1963; Frankl, 1978; Klinger, 1977; Reker, Peacock, & Wong, 1987). Frankl (1978) went as far as to propose that seeking meaning is the core motivation for human beings and is crucial not only for well-being but for survival. Such perspectives clearly emphasize that meaning is a central aspect of human development and a defining feature of personhood.
