Abstract：Objective To investigate the status of post-traumatic growth among college students during the COVID-19 pandemic, and explore the predictive effects of meaning in life and resilience on post-traumatic growth. Methods By using meaning in life questionnaire（MLQ）, Connor-Davidson resilience scale（CD-RISC）, and post-traumatic growthinventory（PTGI）, 822 students from one university in Shanghai were investigated. The data were organized and analyzed to explore the correlations among resilience, meaning in life, and post-traumatic growth. Results The total PTGI score of the college students was 60.87±20.82. There was no significant difference in PTGI scores between males and females（P>0.05）. Scores of PTGI in lower grade students were higher than those in seniors（P<0.05）, and students with better academicperformance had higher scores than those with lower academic performance（P<0.05）. Significant positive correlation occurred among meaning in life, resilience, and post-traumatic growth（P<0.01）. Meaning in life and resilience positively predicted post-traumatic growth（adjusted R2=0.446）. Resilience indirectly influenced the post-traumatic growth through meaning in life. The mediation effect of meaning in life accounted for 18.52% of the total effect. Conclusion Meaning in life plays a partial mediating role between resilience and post-traumatic growth.
