Meaning in Life is an excellent indicator of mental health. Meaning in life refers to one＇s perception of life value and importance. Individuals who have a high sense of meaning in life can deeply understand their life experience, as well as realize the purpose of their own life. Previous studies have demonstrated that the high prevalence of homosexuals＇ problematical behavior is derived from the lack of meaning in life. Thus, it is necessary to enhance the homosexuals＇ meaning in life. However, recent theories and studies focused more on the effect of social prejudice on homosexuals＇ mental health, while few studies examined whether positive psychological trait could improve homosexuals＇ mental health. Self-concept clarity refers to the degree to which individuals clearly define their own self-concepts. As an important psychological trait that reduces the impact of social prejudice, self-concept clarity is believed to effectively improve homosexuals＇ mental health. In the present study, we aimed to examine the relationship between self-concept clarity and meaning in life among young gay men, and investigated the mediating effect of internalized homonegativity and coping self-efficacy between them. 405 young gay men were enrolled by web-based sampling method. All the participants were 16-35 years old, and their self-definitions were homosexuals. Self-concept clarity was assessed with General Self-concept clarity Scale, which contained 12 items. Previous research has indicated that this scale has good reliability and validity. Meaning in Life was assessed with Steger＇s Meaning in Life Scale, which consisted of two dimensions： the presence of meaning and the search for meaning. In this study, only the dimension of presence of meaning was selected. This dimension contained 5 items. In addition, internalized homonegativity was examined by Internalized Homonegativity Scale originated from Herek, Cogan
