Explain why older adults tend to have the lowest level of death anxiety of all age groups.
What will be an ideal response?
Advances in psychosocial development, such an increasing ability to manage negative emotions, influence how older adults approach death and may account for their reduced anxiety compared to younger adults. In addition, religion, specifically a religious sense of hope (e.g., the conviction that their religious beliefs will bring opportunities or make things turn out well), reduces death anxiety among older adults. The psychosocial task of older adulthood is to consider the meaning of life and death. Engaging in life review and establishing a sense of ego integrity help older adults reduce regrets and construct a sense that their lives have been well lived.
