Older adults can frequently serve as a reminder of death to younger adults. People can develop a negative attitude towards aging and elderliness because they see old age as an obstacle in reaching their goals and what they want to do, which they see as the purpose of their lives. This research was conducted to answer to the question of whether attitudes towards aging and elderliness have a mediating role in the relationship between meaning and purpose of life and death anxiety. Relational screening model was used in the research. The research was conducted with 422 participants between the ages of 18-59. In the analysis of the data, Pearson Correlation Analysis and Regression analysis were performed. In addition, Hayes Macro was used in SPSS program to analyze the mediator variable effect. As a result, it was determined that the attitude towards aging had a significant mediator role in the effect of the meaning and purpose of life on death anxiety. It was found that there was a moderate positive correlation between the attitude towards aging and elderliness and death anxiety, a moderate negative correlation between the attitude towards aging and elderliness and the meaning and purpose of life, and a weak negative correlation between death anxiety and the meaning and purpose of life.
老年人常常会让年轻人联想到死亡。人们可能会对衰老和老年形成消极态度，因为他们将老年视为实现自己目标和想做之事的障碍，而他们把这些目标和想做之事看作是自己生活的目的。开展这项研究是为了回答关于对衰老和老年的态度在生命意义与目的和死亡焦虑之间的关系中是否起中介作用这一问题。研究采用了关系筛选模型。研究对象为422名年龄在18至59岁之间的参与者。在数据分析中，进行了皮尔逊相关分析和回归分析。此外，在SPSS程序中使用海斯宏程序来分析中介变量效应。结果发现，对衰老的态度在生命意义与目的对死亡焦虑的影响中具有显著的中介作用。研究发现，对衰老和老年的态度与死亡焦虑之间存在中度正相关，对衰老和老年的态度与生命意义与目的之间存在中度负相关，死亡焦虑与生命意义与目的之间存在弱负相关。
