Abstract:
This study investigated the efficacy of a theory-based psychological well-being program on meaning-in-life of Arabic students. Using a pre-post-test design, we assigned 68 of 136 students to the intervention and another 68 students to the control condition. The intervention ran over four weeks, with meaning-in-life outcome measures three times during those four weeks. Following repeated measures ANOVA, results showed that the psychological well-being program significantly increased meaning-in-life scores in students who took the intervention, compared to the control group. Results support the theoretical relationship between meaning-in-life and psychological well-being among Arabic culture students.
