This study analyzed the influence of the image of death (positive or negative) and gender on death anxiety and assessed several subscales of the Death Attitude Profile-Revised in a sample of 280 compulsory secondary education students. Individuals with a positive image of death were found to exhibit less death anxiety than individuals with a negative image of death, and death anxiety was higher in boys than girls. Students with a positive image of death had greater Approach Acceptance, less Fear of Death, less Death Avoidance, more Escape Acceptance, and more Neutral Acceptance than students with a negative image of death.
本研究分析了死亡意象(正面或负面)和性别对死亡焦虑的影响,并在一个由 280 名义务教育阶段学生组成的样本中评估了死亡态度剖面图修订版的几个分量表。结果发现,对死亡持有正面意象的个体比持有负面意象的个体表现出更少的死亡焦虑,而且男孩的死亡焦虑高于女孩。与对死亡持有负面意象的学生相比,对死亡持有正面意象的学生表现出更大的趋近接受、更少的对死亡的恐惧、更少的死亡回避、更多的逃避接受和更多的中性接受。
