Convergent validity of the Collett-Lester Fear of Death and Templer Death Anxiety Scales in Egyptian male college students.
The Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale and the Templer Death Anxiety Scale were administered to 57 male Egyptian undergraduates. Pearson correlations between the total score on the Templer's scale and the four subscales of Collett-Lester's Fear of Self death, Self dying, Other's death, and Other's dying were .54, .55, .52, and .56, respectively, while the correlation between the total scores on the Collett-Lester and Templer scales was .73, denoting the convergent validity of the Collett-Lester scale against the Templer scale as criterion.
