Abstract

This paper aims to explore the relationships among college students’ life satisfaction, attitudes towards death and sense of life meaning. Life satisfaction scale SWLS, Chinese version of death attitude description scale DAP-R and life sense of meaning scale PIL were used to investigate 445 college students. The results showed that life satisfaction was significantly positively correlated with sense of meaning (r=0.549, p<0.001), and escape acceptance of death attitude was significantly negatively correlated with sense of meaning (r=-0.289, p=0.003). The results of the regression analysis showed that life satisfaction (β=0.519, P<0.001) and escape acceptance of death attitudes (β=−0.217, p=<0.001) significantly predicted sense of life meaning. It can be seen that life satisfaction and escape acceptance of death attitude can well predict the sense of meaning of life. Life goal plays an important role in the construction of sense of life meaning.
