Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between religiosity – measured by the Centrality Scale questionnaire, and spirituality – measured by the Spiritual Transcendence Scale and fear of COVID-19. The project is part of the trend of research related to positive psychology and health psychology and serves to consider the dimension of spirituality – religiosity, revealing, based on the analyses, strong and moderate positive correlations between individual scales of questionnaires measuring both dimensions. 344 people took part in the study. The hypotheses were partially true. Weak positive correlations were found between FVC only for TP, the overall STD score, Experience and Cult. Analyzes indicated that people in late adolescence have significantly lower scores than people in middle and late adulthood. Women scored higher on most variables.
