The present research was conducted with the aim of determining the extent of the relationship and predicting death obsession through religious bias and personality traits. The sample studied in this research consisted of 484 individuals (246 girls and 238 boys) who were selected using a stratified random method. The tools used in this study were the Death Obsession Scale, Allport's Religious Bias Questionnaire, and the NEO Five-Factor Personality Questionnaire (short form). The data obtained were analyzed using correlation methods, stepwise regression analysis, and the t-test. The results of the research showed that there is a relationship between extrinsic religious bias and death obsession (01/0-p

The research results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between extrinsic religious orientation and death obsession (>p, =r) and between the neuroticism dimension of the five-factor personality and death obsession (>p, =r).
Additionally, the results showed that among personality traits, apart from neuroticism, other dimensions such as agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, and openness to experience have significant correlations with both intrinsic and extrinsic religious orientation.
Research regarding the five-factor model of personality has also shown that intrinsic religious orientation is related to agreeableness, conscientiousness, and extraversion, while extrinsic religious orientation has a specifically positive relationship with neuroticism (Henningsgaard and Arnau 3, 2008).
Saroglou 4 (2002), in a meta-analysis study between religious orientation and personality, shows results indicating that there is a positive relationship between religiosity and extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness, and a negative relationship with neuroticism.
Research shows that among the five major factors of personality, agreeableness and conscientiousness show the highest correlation with religiosity; furthermore, there is a relationship between emotional stability and religious orientation (Abbasi and Jan-Bozorgi, 1389).
In investigating the relationship between religiosity, death obsession, and death anxiety among Egyptian female nursing students in the age range 1 between 17-25, a significant negative correlation was reported (Abdel-Khalek and Al-Sabwah, 2006).
Findings Table 1 shows the statistical indices of the research participants regarding death obsession scores, intrinsic and extrinsic religious orientation, and five-factor personality traits.
