Previous studies on the context between death anxiety and religion do not provide any clear evidence regarding "anxiety buffer" function. In this explorative study, death anxiety and attitude to death were determined in the context of mood, personality and meaning of life among groups of Muslims ( = 60) and Christian Protestants ( = 60). Death anxiety and attitude to death were assessed using the Bochum questionnaire for recording death anxiety and attitudes to death. Death anxiety was mild to moderate in our healthy Participants of Muslim and Christian faith. Attitude towards death was therefore much more pronounced among Muslim members than Christians. The influence of religious beliefs on the fear of death does not appear to be direct and linear. Sources that provide meaning in life and emotional stability can contribute to a reduction in death anxiety and a less problematic attitude towards death.
先前关于死亡焦虑与宗教之间关系的研究并未提供任何有关“焦虑缓冲”功能的明确证据。在这项探索性研究中，对穆斯林群体（n = 60）和基督教新教群体（n = 60）在情绪、人格和生命意义的背景下的死亡焦虑和对死亡的态度进行了测定。使用波鸿死亡焦虑和死亡态度记录问卷对死亡焦虑和对死亡的态度进行评估。在我们信仰穆斯林和基督教的健康参与者中，死亡焦虑为轻度至中度。因此，穆斯林成员对死亡的态度比基督教徒更为明显。宗教信仰对死亡恐惧的影响似乎不是直接和线性的。能为生命提供意义和情绪稳定性的来源有助于降低死亡焦虑，并使对死亡的态度问题减少。
