Abstract
The relationship between death anxiety and religion/s explored, it was
assumed that the role of religion could be associated with death anxiety
in a fixed manner or it could vary. Following tests were used Death
Anxiety Scale, Daily Experience Spirituality Scale and Centrality of
Religiosity Scale. 100 subjects falling between 40-60 years of age
belonging to similar area and followers of two different religions, 50
belonging to religion one in Group-A and 50 belonging to religion two in
Group-B were tested. The results reflected that religiosity was
significantly and positively correlated with faith (p < .01),
negatively associated with death anxiety (p < .01) and
negatively correlated with death anxiety (p < .01). The
revealing finding that came in light was the significant differences of
religiosity, faith and death anxiety between Religion-A and Religion-B.
It was also observed that faith was significantly higher among
Religion-A respondents as compared to Religion-B respondents. Finding
suggests further explorations in the direction to explore and address an
inevitable part of human presence.
