Abstract

 The world is experiencing once in a life time pandemic causing untold human suffering and death. This pandemic has a negative influence on the physical, social, emotional, economical and psychological aspects of life. This study is an attempt to find if spiritual quotient decreases the level of death anxiety in pandemic. Spiritual quotient helps an individual to behave wisely in the difficult situations through the journey of life. It is believed that a person who is high on spiritual quotient must aware the realities of life and can tolerate stress and anxiety. The objective of this study is to find and compare the significant correlation between spiritual quotients and death anxiety of male and female during pandemic 2020. The sample of 100 subjects (50 male, 50 female) were chosen from the area of Shastri Nagar in Meerut City with the help of non-probability sampling procedure. Spiritual quotients scale developed by Dr. Kavita Karadia, Rikhita Singhal and Dr. Darshan Narang and Thakur Death Anxiety developed by Giridhar P. Thakur and Manju Thakur were used for data collection. The results indicated significant negative correlation (r= 0.32*) between spiritual quotient and death anxiety of male, which is significant at .05 level, significant negative correlation (r= 0.35*)between spiritual quotient and death anxiety of female, which is significant at .01 level, significant negative correlation (r= 0.33*)between spiritual quotient and death anxiety of male and female, which is significant at .01 level. It means if a spiritual quotient is high, death anxiety decreases during this pandemic. Thus the hypothesis of this study that there is no significant correlation between spiritual quotients and death anxiety of male and female is rejected.
