Among the answers to the question according to the "Attitude to death" method, options that belong to the scale of optimistic attitude to death prevail (53%), those that belong to the scale of pessimistic attitude prevail (47%). Data on the distribution of scales are presented in Figure 1. Similar results were recorded during our study (Yanovska, Turenko & Timchenko, 2020) during the coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, due to the impossibility of a complete reproduction of the sample of the past study, we indicate only the possibility of the invariance of the frequency, and not the absolute fact of the invariance of the frequency. + Research methods: the "Attitude to Death" method (1.Yu.

Figure 2 shows the distribution of metaphors in the studied sample. Both positive and negative metaphors regarding thoughts about own death were chosen. The total scores on the scales of negative and positive metaphors of personal death differ by only 6.4%, from which the following conclusion can be drawn: the thoughts about own death among the subjects of this sample are ambivalent with a slight deviation towards positive ones. Most of the studied atheists chose answers that correspond to a high level of stress resistance in relation to thoughts about death: "I don't worry about death" and answers of a medium level of stress resistance: "thinking about death is not important to

Indicators of correlation analysis between the methods of "Attitude to death" by I. Yu. Kulaginoy, L.V. Sienkovych and the negative subscale "Metaphors of personal death" by J. McLennan (pandemic, war), death penetrates into people's lives and begins to influence it. Death, in a person's subjective experience, prompts awareness of own mortality and affects a person's attitude to thi: phenomenon. According to the results of the comparative analysis, significant differences between believers and atheists were determined: death metaphors chosen by believers ate more positive compared to those chosen by atheists (positive subscale of "Metaphors of personal death" by J. McLennan, p=0.001). For believers, positive death metaphors are those that best describe their thoughts about their own death, they face death directly and boldly, and it is not in a way that leads to depression. Similar results were obtained during the Covid 19 pandemic (Yanovska et al., 2020). Also, significant differences were determined in the studied group according to Hardt D.V.'s Attitudes to Death Scale. between men and women (p= 0.040). Men have a more positive and "black" humor to the thoughts of death; they ate not worried about death and think that thinking about death is not so bad.

A direct relationship was also determined between the indicators of Dale V. Hardt's Scale of Attitudes to Death and J. McLennan's Metaphors of Personal Death. Subjects in whose positive thoughts about death prevail more often choose positive death metaphors (c = 0.379, p = 0.01). In addition, these two methods ate inversely related to the negative subscale of J. McLennan's "Metaphors of Personal Death" method. Research subjects who have a positive attitude towards death and positive thoughts about their own death are less likely to choose negative metaphors that describe their thoughts about death ("Attitude towards death" by LYu. Kulaginoy, L.V. Senkevich: r = — 0.345, p = 0.01; “Death Attitude
