What do death anxiety scales measure?
In a sample of 87 undergraduates (61 women and 26 men; M(age)= 21.2 yr., SD= 3.4), scores on the death anxiety scales by Templer and by Abdel-Khalek were more strongly associated with these college students' fear of death for one's own death than for the death of others.
