The purpose of this study was to analyze how the personality of elderly people affects their attitude toward death. For this study, we investigated 101 old men and women with over the age of 60 in C and J nursing home for the old at Kwang ju city during May 1 to June 30, 2000. As a research tool, the total 20 questions of modified Shanans assorted survey method to measure personality style were used and the reliability of this study was Cronbach's α= 0.7912. For determination of attitude of death, the total 36 questions of FODS (Fear of Death Scale) of Collect & Lester, which has been used by Suh, Hye-Kyung were used and the reliability of this study was Cronbach's α = 0.8645. Using SPSS program, the collected data were analyzed by Frequency, ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient, respectively.
The research results are as follows:
1. In the analysis of the results of personality complying with general characteristics, there were statistically significant differences in age (F=5.896, P=0.001). It was shown that the personality of the old with the age of 61-65 is positive (P<0.01).
2. There were no significant differences in the attitude toward death complying with general characteristics.
3. The hypothesis in this study, the correlation that the more positive personality of the old, the more positive attitude toward death was supported (P<0.001).
In this study, since the elderly people with more positive personality may have more positive attitude toward death (r=0.725, P=0.000), it is considered that the old themselves, their family and workers might help to have positive personality for the positive attitude toward death.
