Data were analyzed using correlation and stepwise regression analyses method and t-test.Results showed that the relationship between death obsessions with extrinsic orientation toward religion is positive whereas death obsession has a negative relation with intrinsic orientation toward religion. Also findings showed there is significant positive relationship between neuroticism and death obsession (r=0/42, p<0/01). Other dimensions at personality had negative relationship with death obsession. The greater negative relationship was between intrinsic orientation toward religion and conscientiousness dimension (r=-0/34, p<0/01). Of all research variables, extrinsic orientation toward religion and neuroticism was able to predict 19 present of variance of death obsession.
