Resumen
The unceasing search for meaning to life is part of the existential questioning. Viktor Frankl is a pioneer in this field. Later, researchers have used his lessons to expand the definition of the construct 'meaning of life'. Transcultural studies lead to a better understanding of this theme, but further research still needs to be done. The available instruments are being tested and improved; however, we already have relevant information on the theme, and it contributes largely to the study of the development of adulthood and later life. This article aims at showing the evolution of the concept 'meaning of life' and how researches have been dealing with the theme in the field of adulthood and later life development. 23 2 270 277 Anchoo, O., Levi, D., (1995) The use of focus group in determining sources of personal meaning for young-old and old-old Israelis, , Ramat Aviv, Israel: Tel Aviv University Atchley, R.C., A continuity theory of normal aging (1989) The Gerontologist, 29, pp. 183-189 Baumeister, R.F., (1991) Meanings of life, , New York: The Guilford Press Calache, I., (1993) Sentido da vida: Uma questão de saúde mental do idoso, , Dissertação de Mestrado não-publicada, Escola de Enfermagem, Universidade de São Paulo, Ribei-rão Preto, SP Davis, C.G., Nolen-Hoeksema, S., Larson, J., Making sense of loss and benefiting from the experience: Two construal of meaning (1998) Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 75 (2), pp. 561-574 De Vogler, K.L., Ebersole, P., Categorization of college students' meaning of life (1980) Psychological Reports, 46, pp. 387-390 Diniz, S.A., (1992) Sentido da vida: Base para a compreen-são do alcoolista, , Dissertação de Mestrado não-publicada, Escola de Enfermagem, Universidade de São Paulo, Ribei-rão Preto, SP Fiske, M., Chiriboga, D.A., (1991) Change and continuity in adult life, , San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass Frankl, V.E., (1999) Psicoterapia e sentido de vida: Funda-mentos da Logoterapia e análise existencial (3. ed.)., , São Paulo, SP: Quadrante Freire, S.A., (2001) Bem-estar subjetivo e metas de vida: Um estudo transversal com homens e mulheres pertencentes a três faixas de idade, , Tese de Doutorado não-publicada, Faculdade de Educação, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, SP Fry, P.S., The development of personal meaning and wisdom in adolescence: A reexamination of moderating and consolidating factors and influences (1998) The human quest for meaning: A handbook of psychological research and clinical applications, pp. 91-110. , P.
