Describe at least one characteristic of individuals who have the highest death anxiety. What is the reason for the strong correlation?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Individuals who do not participate consistently in religious activities and are unsure about their beliefs have higher death anxiety than strong believers and atheists. Without a strong faith, it may be that being loosely affiliated with their religion makes them think about death, but not in a comforting way. Women are also higher in death anxiety; perhaps because of traditional gender roles they worry about who will care for their loved ones.
