Abstract

Hypothesized that individuals attribute the fear of their own death to the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and transpersonal consequences of human mortality. A multidimensional measure of fear of personal death was constructed and administered together with an index of Jewish belief and practice to 178 18-30 yr old males. Principal-components factor analysis of this measure uncovered a factor structure that paralleled the hypothesized aspects of fear of personal death. This factor structure reflected quantitative differences between persons characterized by varying degrees of religious commitment.
