In psychology, meaning-making is the process of how people construe, understand, or make sense of life events, relationships, and the self.

In a broader sense, meaning-making is the main research object of semiotics, biosemiotics, and other fields. Social meaning-making is the main research object of social semiotics and related disciplines.
