As for the goals we have raised have been: delineate the relationship between emotional disorders, anxiety and personality variables to death before the process of dying and death of other people, and to analyze the interaction between these variables , referring to the methodology we used a design methodology with observational descriptive cross, in a sample of 371 college students. The tools we used were: the revised scale of personality EYSENCK -Neuroticismo and extraversión- (EPQ-R), the questionnaire emotional symptoms (BSI) d erogatis, the scale of anxiety before death (DAS) TEMPLER and COLLETT-LESTER (Anxiety to the process itself and die before the death of others).
