Abstract
This paper assesses the relationship between death anxiety and religiosity through the lens of interreligious factors, as well as the relationship between death anxiety and well-being. There has been a lack of research concerning non-Christian religions and the differences relating to death anxiety in those populations. This explorative study of 114 primarily undergraduate college students examines a correlation between death anxiety and well-being. During analysis, a positive correlation between death anxiety and well-being was observed. This finding, though inconsistent with previous literature, could propose an alternate interaction and rationale to the relationship between death anxiety and psychological well-being.
