AB - The current study examined the relationships between mature aging, death attitudes, and death competency among middle-aged adults. Results from a multiple regression analysis predicting death attitudes showed that perceived health was a significant predictor of both a fear of death and denial of death among middle-aged adults. Mature aging, especially social responsibility and good relationships with children, had a positive influence on both neutral and approach acceptance. Social responsibility, including generativity, was the most significant predictor of death competency, while income, education, and good relationships with children were also predictive. Furthermore, three subtypes of death acceptance, including neutral, approach, and escape acceptance, had a positive impact on death competency. These results suggest that mature aging might help individuals effectively cope with death.
