abstract="A cross-sectional survey to investigate relationships between coronavirus anxiety,  individual death attitudes, and personal worldview was conducted among 202  German-speaking adults in Central Europe. <br><br>RESULTS indicated that death anxiety  significantly predicts coronavirus anxiety beyond sociodemographic variables. Women  reported higher coronavirus anxiety than men. Against expectations, dimensions of  personal worldview were hardly related to coronavirus anxiety. In contrast, we found  evidence for a curvilinear relationship between religiosity as well as atheism and  negative death attitudes. Our study contributes to recent discussions about death  anxiety as a transdiagnostic factor in psychopathology and yields important  implications for psychosocial support in the current pandemic.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
