The main purposes of the present study were to see how the term "euthanasia" influences people's support for or opposition to euthanasia; and to see how euthanasia attitude relates to religious orientation and personality factors. In this study two different euthanasia attitude scales were compared. 197 students were selected to fill out either the Euthanasia Attitude Scale (EAS) or Wasserman's Attitude Towards Euthanasia scale (ATE scale). The former scale includes the term "euthanasia", the latter does not. All participants filled out 50 items of International Personality Item Pool, 16 items of the the HEXACO openness, and 14 items of Religious Orientation Scale-Revised. Results indicated that even though the two groups were not different in terms of gender, age, education, religiosity and personality, mean score on the ATE scale was significantly higher than that of the EAS. Euthanasia attitude was negatively correlated with religiosity and conscientiousness and it was positively correlated with psychoticism and openness. It can be concluded that analyzing the attitude towards euthanasia with the use of EAS rather than the ATE scale results in lower levels of opposition against euthanasia. This study raises the question of whether euthanasia attitude scales should contain definitions and concepts of euthanasia or they should describe cases of it.
本研究的主要目的是探究“安乐死”一词如何影响人们对安乐死的支持或反对态度；以及安乐死态度与宗教取向和人格因素之间的关系。在本研究中，对两种不同的安乐死态度量表进行了比较。选取了197名学生，让他们填写安乐死态度量表（EAS）或瓦瑟曼安乐死态度量表（ATE量表）。前一个量表包含“安乐死”一词，后一个则不包含。所有参与者还填写了国际人格项目池的50个条目、HEXACO开放性量表的16个条目以及修订后的宗教取向量表的14个条目。结果表明，尽管两组在性别、年龄、教育程度、宗教信仰和人格方面并无差异，但ATE量表的平均得分显著高于EAS。安乐死态度与宗教信仰和尽责性呈负相关，与精神质和开放性呈正相关。可以得出结论，使用EAS而非ATE量表来分析对安乐死的态度会导致对安乐死的反对程度较低。本研究提出了一个问题，即安乐死态度量表是否应该包含安乐死的定义和概念，还是应该描述安乐死的案例。
