Description
Yoav Bergman reports a 2024 study of death anxiety and resilience in older adults. Knowing that life ends can stir fear at any age. Close bonds are known to soften that fear, but their role in the resilience of old age was less clear.
The study surveyed 369 older adults in Israel, with a mean age near 73. Each filled scales for death anxiety, bond style, and resilience. Death anxiety, bond anxiety, and bond avoidance each linked to lower resilience. The link between death anxiety and resilience, though, faded for people at the high and low ends of both bond traits. The author reads the pattern through a theory of how people manage death awareness.
