          Abstract

          El concepto de la muerte a través de los años ha ido cambiado, percibiéndose actualmente como un tema del que pocos quieren hablar y al que muchos evaden, y que genera en las personas actitudes de miedo y ansiedad. De esta manera, el presente articulo tiene como objetivo evaluar la actitud evolutiva ante la muerte en una muestra de 343 personas, adultos jóvenes y adultos mayores, por medio del Perfil Revisado de Actitudes hacia la Muerte (PAM-R), el cual mide cinco dimensiones: miedo a la muerte, evitación de la muerte, aceptación neutral, aceptación de escape, y aceptación de acercamiento. Para ello, se tuvieron en cuenta las variables género y edad. Los resultados muestran diferencias significativas en función de la edad; en relación al género, las diferencias se presentan entre hombres y mujeres del grupo de adultos mayores.

          Throughout the years the concept of death has been redefined and it currently generates attitudes of fear and anxiety, where death is regarded as a topic that few want to discuss and that many evade. The aim of the present article was to assess the developmental changes in attitude toward death in a sample of 343 persons, composed by young adults and older adults. The variables age and gender were taken into account.

Results showed significant differences as a function of age, and in relation to gender, significant differences were found between men and women in the group of older adults.
