Afterlife And Fear Of Death
The study set about to determine the extent to which the belief in afterlife mitigates the fear of death among middle aged non-teaching staff members of the University of Calabar, Nigeria. Through Stratified random sampling, 250 respondents were drawn, the ex-post facto design, structured questionnaire was used and the accruing data was analyzed using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation and independent t-test along the two hypothesis formulated . The result indicated fear of death having a positive correlation with belief in afterlife. But a non-significant relationship with gender. The conclusion is that these middle-aged individuals even though spiritually high enough to believe in the afterlife yet they indicate anxiety and fear of death, the only logical step to another meaningful existence.
