The current study examines the relationship between Quiet Ego and Death Attitudes (such as Approach Attitudes, Fear of Death, Avoidance Attitude, Neutral Acceptance, & Escape Attitudes). The study used the Death Attitude Profile-Revised and the Quiet Ego Scale to measure various attitudes towards death and compassionate ego respectively. There was a total of 103 participants who were early adults. The results showed Quiet Ego had significant correlations with subscales of Death Attitude (Fear of Death, Avoidance Attitudes & Neutral Acceptance). Independent samples t-tests further demonstrate significant group differences in Approach attitudes.
