Abstract:

Patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) have the symptoms of anxiety incommon that may result in adverse outcomes. Objectives: Due to the significant associationof anxiety and CVD, scheduled screening of all cardiac patients has been recommended bythe medical authorities like the American Heart Association. But in Pakistan it is not a commonpractice to use such tools, reason being unavailability of such screening tools in nationallanguage therefore specifically death anxiety is unrecognized and no measures are takenfor it and patients remain undertreated with death anxiety that may eventual

Abstract:

Subjective distress about the matter of death is widely recognized by thanatology scholars to be multiple faceted. Although there are several instruments that assess anxiety or fear regarding death, until recently there had been no instrument reported in the literature for measuring depression pertaining to death. In the present study the fifteen-item Death Anxiety Scale and the more recently constructed seventeen-item Death Depression Scale were correlated, and their combined thirty-two items were factor analyzed. The two scales correlated .55. Factor 1 was labeled “death anxiety” and its fiv

Abstract:

The differential correlations of death depression and death anxiety were explored. Death anxiety was more highly correlated with general anxiety, the four subscales of the Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale, female gender, and less religiosity. Death depression was more associated with general depression. Such differentiation could not be made with the raw scores of the Death Depression Scale and the Death Anxiety Scale. A differentiation was made, however, using a new ten-item scale based upon factor scores of the two above scales.

Abstract:

Construct validity is the hallmark of Templer's Death Anxiety Scale (1970), which has generated a healthy stream of research of paramount importance in the USA and all over the world. This paper contends that scores on this scale provide valuable scientific knowledge on group norms. To expand the concept of death anxiety it is necessary to supplement empirical with qualitative research. Persons with the same scores may show qualitatively different fears of death, and vice versa. Total reliance on empirical scales may not disclose the depth of bipolar meaning in a “life-death anxiety.” Templer'

A sample of 60 morticians completed the Revised Death Anxiety Scale. Their responses were compared with scores on that scale from 136 men from other occupations.

Abstract:

Measurement of Death Anxiety among 151 Ethiopian undergraduate students using Templer's scale and Thorson and Powell's scale revealed that the sample has slightly higher than average death anxiety. The results also indicate that in this largely Orthodox Christian sample, students were afraid of the pain in death and less afraid of what happens to their body after death. As some items in each scale did not work well, the Cronbach alphas were low, .61 for the 12 items of Templer's scale and .78 for the 15 items of Thorson and Powell's scale.

Abstract:

This study examined the media's influence on 147 college students' views of death. Utilizing the revised Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale, the Incomplete Sentence Blank task, the NEO Five-Factor Inventory measure of Anxiety, the Byrne Repression-Sensitization Scale, and the Media Consumption Scale, a series of MANCOVAs indicated that greater death anxiety was related to the portrayal of group deaths in the media. Results indicated that in some cases, general references to death by the media may bring death fears into consciousness and have no effect on the unconscious, yet specific, real-lif

AbstractThis study sought to examine the role of death anxiety as a transdiagnostic predictor of social anxiety symptomatology compared to self-esteem and intolerance of uncertainty, and to examine the relationship between measures of intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity and death anxiety. A total of 591 participants, 445 females, average age 38.0 years (SD = 14.5), completed an online survey including background questions, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, the Social Interaction Anxiety and Social Phobia Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale, the

Abstract:

A convenient sample of 568 Egyptian female nursing undergraduates ( M age =19.5 yr., SD = 1.6) was recruited. Their scores on the Satisfaction with Life Scale were correlated with scores on the Death Anxiety Scale, Arabic Scale of Death Anxiety, Death Depression Scale-Revised, and the Death Obsession Scale. Pearson correlations were significant but small [-.15, -.18, -.14 ( p <.01) and -.08 (ns), respectively], indicating their predictive and practical value is negligible.

Abstract:

The purpose of the present study was to investigate a multidimensional conceptualization of death, as opposed to the traditional unidimensional approach, by utilizing a randomly-ordered questionnaire composed of selected personality variables and two measures of death anxiety (Templer's 1970 Death Anxiety Scale and Sarnoff and Corwin's 1959 Fear of Death Scale). Personality variables measured were extraversion-introversion, neuroticism, Type AB behaviors, and major life stressors. The questionnaire was completed by 161 undergraduates attending a Southwestern college. Results of Pearson correla

Abstract:

Bugen's Coping with Death Scale, originally found to reflect gains in a death and dying seminar, was found in the present study to be internally consistent and stable on retest. It was negatively associated with the Templer and Collett-Lester scales, providing some convergent validation. It was not associated with Social Desirability but was associated with general anxiety; thus, discriminant validity was mixed. Individuals who had written wills, planned estates, planned their funerals, and signed organ donor cards scored higher on the Coping with Death Scale. Organ donors also reported less a

Abstract:

Recently, death anxiety, or dread of death, has been proposed as a key transdiagnostic process underlying the anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, somatic disorders, and trauma and stressor-related disorders. In fact, it has been argued that death anxiety underlies all psychopathology, and is more fundamental than perfectionism, a process which was previously considered the root of mental illness. However, there has been a paucity of research examining the relationship between death anxiety and the eating disorders, although these conditions have been found to be strongly related to perfec

Abstract:

To measure hospice employees’ perceptions of their own death, the Revised Death Anxiety Scale (RDAS) was implemented among 128 employees at a Midwest hospice facility. Participants were asked to indicate their age, gender, position, and length of time employed in a hospice. Results indicated a negative correlation between RDAS scores and length of time employed in a hospice for “non-nurses” ( p = .011). Overall, RDAS scores were extremely low when compared with a recent study that implemented the RDAS in a group of hospice nurses ( Halliday & Boughton, 2008 ). Research of this nature shoul

Abstract:

Arabic versions of the Templer Death Anxiety Scale and the Thorson and Powell Revised Death Anxiety Scale were administered to 117 male and 157 female Kuwaiti undergraduates. Cronbach coefficients alpha for the two scales were, respectively, .79 and .77. Pearson correlations for scores on the two scales were .54, .67, and .64 for men, women and the combined group, respectively, so reliability and concurrent validity of the scales were adequate for the Kuwaiti sample.

Three samples of male and female undergraduates were recruited from Egypt ( N=208), Kuwait ( N=215), and Lebanon ( N=228). The Death Anxiety Scale, Death Depression Scale, Trait Anxiety Scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Beck Depression Inventory were administered to participants in small group sessions in each country. Alpha reliabilities of the four scales in the three nations ranged from almost satisfactory to high levels. In death anxiety, Lebanese subjects had significantly the lowest mean score. As for death depression in males, Kuwaitis attained the highest mean score,

The Kuwaiti sample obtained significantly higher mean scores on all the scales than the American sample. Scores on the Somatic Symptoms Inventory were positively correlated with Death Anxiety scores, indicating that people who enjoy good physical health are less concerned with death.
