Abstract

Seventy undergraduate participants between the ages of 19 and 30 were assessed with measures of death anxiety, religious orientation, separation-individuation conflict, and two dimensions of guilt (need for reparation and fear of punishment). A multiple regression with death anxiety as the criterion variable revealed the following variables, listed in order of their contributions to R2, to be significant predictors: fear of punishment, extrinsic religious orientation, need for reparation, and separation-individuation conflict. A model of death anxiety for young adults that addresses the developmental tasks of this stage is proposed.
