Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore and understand life and meaning in life of elementary school students.
Methods: Data from 1,790 higher grade elementary school students were analyzed for content of meaning in life.
Results: The students described the following: 1) Meanings of living existence included, ¡®living things¡¯, ¡®importance¡¯, ¡®human life¡¯, ¡®family¡¯, ¡®event¡¯, ¡®eternity¡¯, ¡®origin of life¡¯, ¡®disease¡¯, and, ¡®protection¡¯. 2) Four categories were found for reasons why human life is important, ¡®solitary¡¯, ¡®limitation¡¯, ¡®valuables¡¯, and ¡®living¡¯. 3) Things that one can do to protect the value of human life were, ¡®doing safely¡¯, ¡®keep things well¡¯, ¡®altruistic behavior¡¯, ¡®doing sound activity¡¯, ¡®preservation & development¡¯, and ¡®devotion of oneself¡¯. 4) Meaning of life included ¡®to accomplish plans¡¯, and ¡®to do things¡¯ 5) Cases when students felt life had meaning were ¡®perform meaningful behavior¡¯, ¡®comfortable emotionally¡¯, and ¡®receiving help from others¡¯. 6) The methods by which to live a meaningful life were ¡®working diligently¡¯, ¡®serving¡¯, and ¡®doing rightly¡¯.
Conclusion: These results suggest that students recognize the meaning of life in a most positive way and with a relatively wide scope, but as a few students had a negative orientation, age-appropriate and more systematic education programs are needed.
