Abstract:
Ninety-seven (97) late adolescent (18 to 25 years old) Filipino UP students have been
purposively sampled to answer self-administered questionnaires to suffice the general
objective of correlating death perceptions and death attitudes to their religious
orientation. In correlating death perceptions and religious orientation, results from
Pearson Product-Moment Correlation show negative correlation at almost all
correlations, except for noncorporeal continuation and religious orientation correlation
scores, which garnered a positive one. It means that the relationship between religious
orientation and death perceptions and death attitudes is inversely proportional – as one
increase, the other decreases. On the other note, the absence of correlation on those
responses coming from participants without any death experience state that it affects
the relationship of death perceptions and death attitudes to religious orientation.
