Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between mortality salience, death anxiety, and two moderating variables: self-esteem and religiosity. A total of 174 undergraduate students from the Mindanao State University-Main Campus in the Philippines were selected via convenience sampling. Specifically, the study was carried out to determine if both self-esteem and religiosity moderate the relationship between mortality salience and death anxiety. The results revealed that mortality salience was positively correlated with death anxiety among undergraduate students. Moreover, self-esteem significantly moderated the relationship between mortality salience and death anxiety, with low self-esteem enhancing this relationship. However, religiosity was found to be a non-significant moderator of the link between mortality salience and death anxiety. Overall, the findings of this study have implications for understanding these relationships and offer recommendations for further research.
摘要:
这项研究的目的是调查死亡率显著性之间的关系,死亡焦虑,和两个调节变量:自尊和宗教信仰。通过便利抽样,从菲律宾棉兰老岛州立大学主校区共选出174名本科生。具体来说,这项研究的目的是确定自尊和宗教信仰是否可以缓解死亡率显著性和死亡焦虑之间的关系.结果显示,在本科生中,死亡率显著性与死亡焦虑呈正相关。此外,自尊显著调节了死亡显著性和死亡焦虑之间的关系,低自尊增强了这种关系。然而,发现宗教信仰是死亡率显著性和死亡焦虑之间联系的非重要调节因素。总的来说,这项研究的结果对理解这些关系有意义,并为进一步的研究提供了建议。
