Muhtasari	The WHO-5 is a 5-item screening instrument measuring current well-being over the past two weeks. Developed by the World Health Organization in 1998, it assesses positive mental health states and is widely used in both research and clinical practice to identify individuals at risk for depression. Its brevity, validity, and cross-cultural acceptance make it a standard tool in primary care and epidemiological surveys worldwide.	The Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ) is a 10-item self-report measure developed by Steger and colleagues in 2006 to assess both the presence of meaning and the active search for meaning in life. It addresses a core existential dimension of well-being: the degree to which individuals experience their life as purposeful and meaningful. The MLQ distinguishes presence of meaning from search for meaning, revealing that growth and psychological adjustment can involve active meaning-seeking even when current meaning-presence is lower.
