| description | Background
The aim of the study was to determine the values (Schwartz’s ten basic values) and sense of symbolic immortality among non-religious adolescents.
Participants and procedure
Participants were recruited from secondary schools in Gdansk and Gdynia.
Results
The results showed that non-religious adolescents achieved higher results in the natural mode, and lower in biological-creative and religious modes. They also scored higher on universalism and self-direction subscales of Schwartz’s ten basic values. The results are discussed in the light of humanistic personal ideology and terror management theory.
Conclusions
The cultural worldview that protects non-religious adolescents against death anxiety seems to be more rooted in humanistic and individualistic values. |
