520  ‎$a‎In this article, we introduce a general theory about meaning in life developed by our first author, and apply it to the context of ageing. The seven components of meaning distinguished by this theory purpose, moral worth, selfworth, control, coherence, excitement and connectedness are discussed in turn. After presenting the theory, we confront the seven components with extensive life narratives of two older men in a first empirical qualitative exploration of how meaning dimensions appear in the life experiences of older people. This dialogue between theory and narrative is used to provide concretisation and clarification of the seven components, thereby enhancing the understanding of the theory, while at the same time suggesting possible refinements and directions for future exploration of meaning in life in the context of ageing.
