Abstract

The study aims to examine the relationship between meaning in life, self-control and resilience among young adults. Participants included 270 young adults aged between 18 to 25 years. Participants completed the meaning in life scale which was designed by Steger (2006), self-control scale which was developed by Tangney et al. (2004) and the brief resilient coping scale which was developed by Sinclair et al. (2004). Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient was computed to analyze the results. It was found that there was a low positive significant relationship between the domain of presence for meaning in life and self-control, domain of presence for meaning in life and resilience, self-control and resilience. There was no significant relationship found between the domain of search for meaning in life and self-control, domain of search for meaning in life and resilience.
