Resumen

he post-pandemic period significantly disrupted individuals’ daily routines, challenged their sense of purpose, and led to declines in psychological well-being. Prolonged uncertainty and loss of social continuity contributed to heightened anxiety for some individuals, while others continued to maintain life satisfaction. This study examines whether meaning in life enhances psychological resilience and whether resilience, in turn, influences anxiety and life satisfaction.
