The aim of this study is to find out personal attitudes towards
the question of death in older adulthood in context of living
with own children in same household. Basic questions that were
asked were such as if living of children with their parents has
any impact on the question of death and if those who don’t live
together with their children have stronger fear of death than
those who still do. Work also focuses on difference between
genders and further works with variables of religiousness,
generativity, age, frequency of contact with children and
subjective feeling of amount of contact with children. Realized
research was based on sample of 173 participants aged from 45
to 60 and was conducted by the form of questionnaire. Examined
attitude towards death was determined by „DAP-R“ method which
quantified individual dimensions, those were „fear of death“,
„death avoidance“, „neutral acceptance“, „approach acceptance“
and „escape acceptance“. Variable of religiousness was
monitored by „ROS“ method and generativity was monitored by
„LGS“ method. It has been shown that living with children has
no demonstrable impact on fear of death. Significant effect on
fear of death and evading of death was found in subjective
feeling of amount of contact with children. Important influence
over all hypothesis has been found in variable of generativity.
