Sažetak
The paper explores the relationship between death anxiety, religiosity, and gender. The research involved 631 participants from Croatia, and the results indicate that women report significantly higher levels of death anxiety compared to men. The study also examines the correlation between death anxiety and various dimensions of religiosity (God’s will, religious beliefs, social behaviour, and ritualistic religiosity), as well as life satisfaction. Among men, weaker correlations are observed between death anxiety and these variables, while in women, all correlations are negative and statistically significant. These findings confirm the existence of gender differences in death anxiety and highlight the complexity of the relationship between religiosity and death anxiety.
