A study on meaning in life in relation to family closeness, strength of faith, community involvement and social media activity

Abstract

Having experienced a great deal of social isolation due to the pandemic health restrictions, this study sought to discover what factors now influence Filipino respondents’ meaning in life. It attempted to ascertain whether relationships between family closeness, strength of faith, community involvement and social media activity and meaning in life exist. 105 volunteer respondents from Quezon City, Marikina City in Metro Manila and Antipolo City, San Mateo, Rodriguez in the Province of Rizal took part in this study. The MLQ questionnaire and researcher made items were administered through Google Forms. The study found that Meaning in Life had moderate positive correlations with family closeness, strength of faith, community involvement and a low positive correlation with social media activity.
