The current study examined the relationships among the importance, consistency of meaning in life and psychological health, and the role of hope in the process enhancing meaning in life. Using the sample of university students, one hypothesized and two alternative models were tested by structural equation modeling. The results showed that the effects of importance of meaning in life on psychological health were mediated by consistency of meaning in life. Second, the effects of importance of meaning in life on psychological health were mediated by hope. Third, the effects of importance of meaning in life on psychological health were mediated by both consistency of meaning in life and hope. These findings suggest that an individual’s psychological health may be enhanced when they acknowledge importance of meaning in life and live their lives accordingly and when they find hope in their lives.
