Örneklemde bulunan bireyler 17-27 yaş arasındaki genç yetişkinlerdir. Araştırma, ilişkisel araştırma modeline dayalı betimsel bir çalışmadır. Araştırmada ölçme araçları olarak, genç yetişkinlerin cinsiyeti, doğum sırasına göre konumu, algılanan gelir düzeyi, anne baba birlikteliği ve algılanan ebeveyn tutumuna ilişkin bilgi toplamak amacıyla araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen Kişisel Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Genç Yetişkinlerin yaşam anlamı düzeylerini belirlemek için Steger, Frazier, Oishi ve Kaler (2006) tarafından geliştirilen, Akın ve Taş (2011) tarafından Türkiye‟ye uyarlaması yapılan, Yaşamın Anlamı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analiz edilmesi sonucunda, yaşamın anlamının cinsiyet, algılanan sosyo-ekonomik düzeyi ve ebeveyn birlikteliği ya da ayrı oluşuna göre anlamlı farklılık göstermediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bunun yanında genç yetişkinlerdeki yaşamın anlamı algılanan ebeveyn tutumu ve doğum sırasındaki konuma göre anlamlı farklılık göstermektedir.
