This research examines the relationship of several measures of religiosity to a multidimensional fear of death scale using respondents from Saudi Arabia. Questionnaire data for 84 Saudi Arabians temporarily living in the United States were analyzed. Our results showed that current church (mosque) attendance has a significant negative correlation with fear of premature death, and self-perceived religiosity has a significant negative correlation with fear for significant others. These findings suggest that while the relationships between religion and fear of death vary between Americans and Saudia Arabians, religious measures and certain dimensions of fear of death are significantly related within samples from both cultures.
