Abstract:

 This study is divided into two sections: the first section aims to extrapolate the reality of the situation in the Lebanese society during the beginning of 2021 with regard to psychological stress and death anxiety following the Beirut Port Blast and during the Corona crisis and the beginning of the economic downturn in Lebanon; the second section aims to study the correlation among the components of well-being and religiosity, and the relationship between death anxiety and psychological stress with well-being and religiosity. It also aims to reveal the possibility of predicting well-being through psychological stress and death anxiety. In addition, the study aims to explore the factorial analysis of the components of scales in both sexes. The sample included 2290 people from various Lebanese governorates. Templer’s Death Anxiety scale, Cohen’s perceived stress scale, and Abdel-Khaleq self-rating scales of well-being and religiosity were utilized. One of the findings of the study is the emergence of the well-being factor, which consists of: religiosity, mental health, physical health, happiness, and life satisfaction. No differences between the sexes were depicted in this factor. It was also found that the relationship between well-being and religiosity, on one hand, and psychological stress and death anxiety, on the other hand, is an inverse relationship; no differences between males and females were depicted in this regard. Stress and death anxiety were inferred to be predictors of well- being though through different coeficients. Results also revealed differences in the principal components of factors in both sexes; the items loaded on four factors in females, one of which was bipolar, indicating the negative impact of psychological stress on females’ mental health, happiness and life satisfaction. However, in males the items loaded on four factors, all of which were unipolar, including a factor that displays males’ ability to self-control during psychological stress.
