Abstract

The results of the study of sex-age features of the attitude of Russians towards death are presented.The attitude toward death was assessed on the basis of measuring five different attitudes identified by theCanadian psychologist P.T. Wong with colleagues, using the questionnaire DAP-R (Fear of death, Avoidanceof the theme of death, Neutral acceptance of death, Approach acceptance of death, Escape acceptance ofdeath). The study was conducted with the participation of 352 people (M = 36.6 years, SD = 19.5, 58.5%of women), divided into four age groups (12–17 years, 18–29 years, 30–59 years, 60–83 years). Sex-agedifferences in the preference for different attitudes toward death were found. It is shown that, regardlessof age, the attitudes for an approach acceptance of death is more pronounced in women than in men. Foradolescents, the most common attitude is the escape acceptance of death, and in adults, as their age increases,the neutral acceptance of death begins to predominate. In all age groups, except for the elderly, there wasalso a mixed attitude towards death, which manifested itself in the form of links between negative attitudesand positive ones. Comparison of the data obtained in the Russian sample with the results of foreign studiesconducted in Canada and Hong Kong demonstrated the specific features of Russian culture in attitudestoward death. The findings indicate the need for a broader and more systematic study of attitudes towarddeath in adolescence in order to study the causes of teen suicides.
