Description
Tamadhir Al-Mahrouqi and co-authors, in a 2024 study, asked what shapes the sense of meaning in life among college students in Oman during the COVID-19 pandemic. Meaning has two sides here: feeling that life already has it, and still searching for it. Both can shift under stress, illness, and stage of study.
In April 2021, 970 students at one science and technology university filled in a meaning questionnaire and a form on their background. Medical students scored higher on both sides of meaning than engineering students. With each later year of study, the felt presence of meaning fell. Students with a long term body disease also scored lower on both sides. The team used statistical models that weigh each factor on its own, to sort real links from overlap.
