The study presents an application of Latent Profile Analysis to sustain the existence of different profiles of meaning-making (i.e., the process of searching and finding meaning in life) within the late adolescent’s population, and to investigate the role of resilience in predicting profiles’ belonginess. 943 Italian senior high-school students (52% females) were clustered into two adaptive profiles, highly-engaged (high presence, average search) and balanced (average presence and search), and two maladaptive profiles, frustrated (average presence, high search) and disengaged (low presence and search). A multinomial logistic regression revealed that adolescents with robust resilience skills were more likely to show adaptive profiles, and less likely to fall into the disengaged group, suggesting that individuals with higher resilience are more prone to engage in search for meaning even when they perceive a lack of presence of meaning. Findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of meaning-making, calling the development of personalized interventions to foster adolescents’ ability to navigate life challenges during their transition toward adulthood.

该研究提出了潜在概况分析的应用，以维持青少年晚期人群中不同的意义创造概况（即寻找和发现生活意义的过程）的存在，并调查弹性在预测概况中的作用。归属感。 943 名意大利高中生（52% 为女性）被分为两种适应性概况：高度投入（高存在感、平均搜索量）和平衡型（平均存在感和搜索量），以及两种适应不良型、沮丧型（平均存在感、高搜索量） ）和脱离（低存在和搜索）。多项逻辑回归显示，具有强大复原力技能的青少年更有可能表现出适应性特征，并且不太可能落入脱离群体，这表明具有较高复原力的人即使在感到缺乏时也更容易寻求意义意义的存在。研究结果有助于对意义创造的细致入微的理解，呼吁制定个性化干预措施，以培养青少年在向成年过渡期间应对生活挑战的能力。
