• Abstract: The sense of life meaning refers to an individual’s subjective perception and experience of their own existential value, life goals, and connection to the world. As a core psychological resource integrating the self and reality, its importance is evident in multiple dimensions including emotional regulation, individual development, and social adaptation. This paper systematically reviews classic theoretical frameworks and emerging research on the sense of life meaning, while examining contemporary societal challenges surrounding it. The study aims to clarify the theoretical evolution and practical challenges of the sense of life meaning, providing theoretical insights for addressing the “pain-boredom” dilemma faced by modern individuals and enhancing psychological resilience across all populations. 生命意义感是个体对自身存在价值、生活目标及世界联结的主观感知与体验，作为整合自我与现实的核心心理资源，其重要性体现在情绪调节、个体发展与社会适应等多个维度。本文系统梳理生命意义感的经典理论框架与新兴研究，剖析当代社会中面临的生命意义感问题，旨在厘清生命意义感的理论演进脉络与现实挑战，为破解当代人“痛苦—无聊”的意义钟摆困境、提升全人群心理韧性提供理论参考。
