ライフイメージが及ぼす死観への影響 : 円環と直線のイメージ画を用いて <研究論文>

The purpose of this research is to clarify the relationship between life image and views on death during adolescence, and to investigate how the form of the life image gives rise to differences in views on death. In this research, based on prior research, we conducted a survey hypothesizing two main types of life image: circular and linear. The subjects of the survey were 78 female students enrolled at University A. The method used was a survey comprising life image graphics and a 14-item measure of views on death.Based on the results of this survey, the following points were indicated: 1) No clear relationship was seen between life image and views on death. 2) One of the unique characteristics of views on death as held by adolescents is that these views can be categorized into one of three types: Fear/Immortality High; Fear/Immortality Medium; and Fear/Immortality Low; and 3) life image is not limited to either "circular" or "linear"; in some cases, the life image has characteristics of both.
