Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the birth story of individuals on personality traits and death anxiety. This descriptive and analytical research was completed with 1,635 people who participated voluntarily. The study data were collected with the Personal Information Form, Cervantes Personality Scale (CPS), and Abdel-Khalek Death Anxiety Scale (ASDA). The research sample is average means 31.63 ± 11.04 years, most of the female (72.7%) and married (54.6%). In our study, it was observed that women's death anxiety was higher than men's. Our study found that individuals born by caesarean section had greater neurotic personality traits, emotional stability/neuroticism score averages, and death anxiety scores compared to individuals born vaginally. In the model made with multiple regression analysis, birth type did not significantly predict death anxiety, while sex and emotional stability/neuroticism personality trait significantly predicted death anxiety.
