The relationships that exist between the intensity of midlife crisis and individual items on Dickstein's (1972) Death Concern Scale were explored. The question of whether the intensity of a crisis could be used to predict responses to items on the scale was also investigated. A group of 235 person, 30-60 years of age, completed the scale. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients indicated relationships for 7 of the 30 items on the scale. Using forced-entry regression, with intensity of crisis as the independent variable and the items on the scale as dependent variables, I found 8 scale items with reportable beta scores of .10 or above. The relationships and predictors reflected cognitive and emotional aspects of death.
研究了中年危机强度与迪克斯坦（1972年）死亡担忧量表上各个项目之间的关系。还调查了危机强度是否可用于预测对该量表上项目的反应这一问题。一组235名年龄在30至60岁之间的人完成了该量表。皮尔逊积差相关系数表明该量表30个项目中有7个项目存在关系。以危机强度为自变量、量表上的项目为因变量进行强制进入回归分析，我发现有8个量表项目的可报告β系数为0.10或更高。这些关系和预测因素反映了死亡的认知和情感方面。
