中文摘要：

该研究以广州市与台中市大学生为被试,抽取500人为预测样本及800人为正式施测样本,通过探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析编制生命意义量表,并通过t检验和潜在剖面分析考察两岸大学生生命意义现况的差异.结果表明：（1）编制的生命意义量表由存在意义、追寻意义、存在盈实、苦难接纳、死亡接纳以及求意义的意志等6个维度组成,具有良好的信度和效度.（2）两岸大学生生命意义总体无显著差异；存在盈实、苦难接受与死亡接纳维度有显著或非常显著的差异.（3）潜在剖面分析结果显示,两岸大学生生命意义类型相似.Wald检验结果表明,对于“死亡接纳”维度,台湾与大陆学生在各潜在类别的均分上存在显著的差异.

英文摘要：

The study took college students of Guangzhou and Taichung as samples. Based on the exploratory factor analysis and confirm- atory factor analysis, the researchers developed a meaning of life scale, and compared the meaning of life of the college students in Main- land and Taiwan by using t - test and LPA. The results showed ： （ 1 ） The developed meaning of life scale was composed of six factors,in- cluding the present meaning,the search for meaning,the existential vacuum,the suffering acceptance,the death acceptance and the will to meaning. The scale showed relevant reliability and validity. （2） According to the result of t - test, there was no significant difference between the total scores of the meaning in life of university students in Mainland and Taiwan. However, there were significant differences or very significant difference in the existential vacuum, the suffering acceptance and death acceptance. （3） The result of LPA showed that classification of college students in Mainland and Taiwan were almost the same. And the result of Wald test indicated that there were significant differences between death acceptance scores of students in different classes from mainland and Taiwan.
