This study used a quantitative research method and an experimental research design to explore the problem of death anxiety and its negative affect on an individuals' psychological well-being. The specific problem explored was how effective an implicit self-esteem boost is in buffering against death anxiety. Psychological well-being is often associated with increased levels of self-esteem while low self-esteem tends to be more associated with psychological problems. Terror management theory posits that self-esteem is one of the key psychological forces in helping individuals to buffer against the phenomenon of death anxiety. This study addressed two research questions: what is the relationship between the fear of death scale scores for individuals who attend an implicit self-esteem boost group intervention? and what is the relationship between the fear of death scale scores for individuals who attend an implicit self-esteem boost group intervention when controlling for self-esteem boost? The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine if there is a significant difference between an experimental self-esteem boost group (implicit) and a control group in buffering against death anxiety. A total of 178 participants completed this study (89 participants for the experimental group and 89 participants for the control group) and were administered an on-line pre-test and post-test death anxiety survey using the 28-item Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale. The treatment was also administered on-line. The independent variable was an implicit self-esteem boost while the dependent variable was anxiety level as measured by the 28-item Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale (Third Version; Lester & Abdel-Khalek, 2003). The independent-samples t-test and an ANOVA were used to analyze the data for this study in order to determine if there is a statistically significant difference in individuals' pre-test and post-test death anxiety scores between individuals who participate in an implicit self-esteem boost group and a control group with no self-esteem boost. The results of the ANOVA indicated no statistically significant difference between these two groups as evidenced by F(2, 354) = 2.88, p = .057 for research question one and F(2, 354) = 2.85, p = .059 for research question two. Recommend replication of this research with college students and then with a different death anxiety scale and future research be conducted to help identify the most effective strategy that can lower death anxiety levels.
