Mediating role of psychological well‐being in the effect of spirituality on attitudes toward death in the elderly

In this study, as spirituality increases, attitudes toward death also increase positively. It was found that as spirituality increases, people tend to have a more positive acceptance and approach toward death. This study suggests that spirituality may influence emotional responses to death and shape attitudes toward death, particularly neutral acceptance and escape acceptance. As psychological well-being increases in the elderly, acceptance of death increases and fear of death decreases. In the study, prediction with different machine learning approaches is proposed. Longitudinal studies on attitudes toward death are recommended.
