The issue of death and its psychological potencial

In this study we wanted to explore, if there exists a relationship between spiritual orientation of people and their attitude to death. In the theoretical part, there were this two subjects (spirituality and death) described, explained and related to other important issues (for example: fear of death, the spiritual clime in the modern society, spiritual growth and motivation for the spiritual way of life, spiritual care of dying people etc.). This part discusses three representative kinds of spirituality too - the Christian reigion, the Buddhist spirituality and the "faith of atheists" - especially in their relation to death. In the empirical part we used a modified version of The Test of Colour Semantic Differential to verify that there exists greater integrity between conscious and unconscious dimension of attitude to death among the people with clear-cut spiritual orientation. Howewer, the results of the research haven't made it possible to falsificate the zero hypothesis
