2.2.4. Meaning in Life

Meaning in life was measured with the meaning in life questionnaire [43], which consists of 10 items rated from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). The questionnaire includes two dimensions: presence of meaning in life and search for meaning in life. As the aim of our study focuses primarily on the present characteristics of meaning in life experienced by participants, we only used the presence subscale that assesses how much people perceive their lives as meaningful. The Cronbach's α reliability for the sample was 0.83.
