Differential Meaning-in-Life Crisis Questionnaire Test
This measure is designed to help differentiate common presentations of meaning-in-life distress. The Differential Meaning-in-Life Crisis Questionnaire is intended to clarify the predominant pattern of crisis-related concerns in the domain of life meaning.
It is a brief self-report instrument with 18 items that can be completed in about 4 minutes. Content focuses on distinguishing experiences consistent with perceived meaninglessness, loss of previously held meaning, and difficulty translating perceived meaning into lived action. Developed by Paul T. P. Wong, the Differential Meaning-in-Life Crisis Questionnaire may be used in clinical or counseling contexts to support case formulation and to monitor change over time when meaning-related distress is a focus of treatment.
