| Summary: | This study was designed to clarify the relationship between religious orientation and death fear, and to test the hypothesis that concern about one's possible fate in an after-life is positively associated with extrinsic religion but negatively correlated with intrinsic religion. The results indicated that extrinsic religion is positively associated with death fear and more specifically with the ranking of concern regarding one's fate in an afterlife. Intrinsic religion was not significantly related to death fear but was negatively correlated with ranking of concern about fate in an afterlife. |
