The results are based on the author’s study of 250 students of Kraków’s universities, carried out due to pandemic conditions by means of an online questionnaire. The majority of the respondents demonstrated an average strength of the sense of meaning in life and the most frequently indicated most important values for them were health, love and independence. The strongest correlations with the sense of meaning in life were friendship, love and family, and somewhat weaker correlations were religious faith and richness of experiences. People with a clear purpose in life had a stronger sense of meaning in life.
