The Relationship between Death Fear and Death Acceptance

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between death fear and death acceptance with the college students and the sixties. Using multidimensional fear of death scale and death acceptance scale, It was clear that women were significantly more afraid of death than were men, but the sixties were necessarily not less afraid of death than were the twenties. Also women were significantly more accepting of life after death and of death as an escape from life than were men. The sixties were significantly accepting of death as an escape and of death as a natural end than were the twenties. Interestingly although accepting death, death was the object of fear in all subjects. By cluster analysis two clusters, with significant differences in death fear, were discriminated according to death acceptance except the sixties women.
