Abstract

The present study explored death obsession and rumination amidst political instability and violence Karachi, Pakistan. A convenience sample of 125 participants was selected from ages 18 to 25 to test the hypothesis that there will be a direct correlation between death obsession and rumination. Death Obsession Scale (Abdel-Khalek, 1998) and Rumination scale (Trapnell& Campbell, 1999) were administered along with an enquiry about the participant's perception of safety in Karachi. The results supported the hypothesis (r= 0.275, p<0.000). The destructive impacts of external threats to safety are explored in the context of the recent political uproar in Muslim countries.
