To detect the differences in death anxiety and social support according to the variable of gender, the researcher relied on the descriptive analytical approach. The research sample consisted of (94) elderly men and women in Beqaa- Lebanon.To achieve the objectives of the research, the death anxiety scale was used. According to Templar, and the social support scale prepared by Spender, 1982.The following results were reached: The level of death anxiety among the members of the research sample was moderate, at a rate of (66.67%), followed by (17.78%) of those who had a low level of death anxiety, while it reached a percentage of individuals with a high level of death anxiety (15.55%). Death anxiety can be predicted through social support (i.e. whenever social support decreases by a degree of (0.143) accompanied by an increase in death anxiety by one standard degree).There is an inverse correlation between death anxiety and social support among members of the research sample, and the presence of statistically significant differences between averages of the responses of elderly members of the research sample on the death anxiety scale according to the gender variable in favor of elderly women. There were no statistically significant differences on the social support scale according to the gender variable.
