Abstract/Summary
To cope with paralyzing terror awakened by thoughts of their own death people usually use two defense mechanisms: cultural worldview and self-esteem. Recent studies suggest that Religion plays the greatest role in managing death anxiety. The present research explores this phenomenon in a qualitative paradigm. Six (6) participants who believe and practice both Catholicism and Buddhism were tested using the Intrinsic/Extrinsic scale prior to the interview. The findings show that how Catholic-Buddhists utilize their religion basically does not differ from those who practice only religion. They focus on self-efficacy rather than conforming to their religion. They are flexible in using whichever elements in their religion that applies rather that exclusively follow only one religion.
