Both presence of meaning and search for meaning are negatively associated with depressive symptoms in adolescents.
In a sample of 2253 Chinese adolescents, higher meaning in life correlated with fewer depressive symptoms, especially in positive affect.
Using network analysis, this study examines the intricate connections between meaning in life dimensions and depressive symptoms.
Densely interconnected depressive symptoms were found in those with lower presence of meaning, indicating more severe challenges.
