Research on death-related attitudes needs complex assessment instruments for multicultural contexts. The French version of the Multidimensional Orientation Toward Dying and Death Inventory was factor analytically constructed with data from Europe and Canada ( = 370). The 24-item instrument with five and three scales in the fear and acceptance domain, respectively, shows favorable psychometric properties. The influence of social desirability is negligible. Women tended to express stronger fears and weaker acceptance of dying and death. Gender differences emerged concerning Fear of One's Own Dying and Fear of Corpses, with women scoring higher than men on both dimensions. The importance of assessing attitudes toward dying and death transdiagnostically is outlined.
死亡态度的研究需要针对多元文化背景的复杂评估工具。《多维死亡态度量表》的法语版通过来自欧洲和加拿大的数据（ = 370）进行了因子分析构建。该 24 项量表分别有恐惧和接受两个领域的 5 个和 3 个分量表，具有良好的心理测量特性。社会期望的影响可以忽略不计。女性倾向于表达更强烈的对死亡的恐惧和更弱的接受程度。在对死亡的恐惧和对尸体的恐惧这两个维度上，女性的得分均高于男性，这体现了性别差异。概述了跨诊断评估死亡态度的重要性。
