University students in Canada (n = 255) and Northern Ireland (n = 315), graduate nursing students (n = 124), funeral service students (n = 79), and members of the Unitarian Fellowship (n = 83) completed Templer's Death Anxiety Scale (DAS). The responses of each group were subjected to principal components factor analysis using varimax rotational procedures and the factor scores derived from this analysis were then contrasted using multiple discriminant function analysis. Results indicated that there was more commonality than uniqueness in the factor patterns for these groups. Four common death anxiety patterns were classified as follows: (a) cognitive-affective concerns; (b) concern about physical alterations; (c) concern about the passage of time; and (d) concern about stressors and pain. These factors are consistent with and extend the views expressed in previous research (i.e., Pandy, 1974-75; Pandy & Templer, 1972.
加拿大（n = 255）和北爱尔兰（n = 315）的大学生、护理学研究生（n = 124）、丧葬服务专业学生（n = 79）以及一神论联谊会成员（n = 83）完成了坦普勒死亡焦虑量表（DAS）。使用方差最大化旋转程序对每组的回答进行主成分因子分析，然后使用多元判别函数分析对由此分析得出的因子得分进行对比。结果表明，这些组的因子模式中共同之处多于独特之处。四种常见的死亡焦虑模式分类如下：（a）认知情感担忧；（b）对身体变化的担忧；（c）对时间流逝的担忧；（d）对压力源和疼痛的担忧。这些因素与先前研究（即潘迪，1974 - 1975年；潘迪和坦普勒，1972年）中表达的观点一致并有所扩展。
