  Abstract:  This article concerns issues of adult`s image, attitude and response to death. There is presented the multidimensional nature of death anxiety (conscious and unconscious fear of death; trait and state fear of death; fear of own death or others). There are analyzed factors which could influence death anxiety in persons (vital danger and NDL phenomena; death of a close person; personality traits; religiousness; demographic variables; professional status; illness). The article presents different coping stiles regarded death. The contradictory data of researches are discussed in the light of a comprehensive model of death anxiety and the postmodern view on meaning making, constructivism and narratives.
