University students (n = 165), graduate nursing students (n = 102), and funeral service students (n = 68) completed Templer's Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) and a Death Personification Exercise (DPE). Responses to the DAS and DPE were subjected to principal components factor analysis using varimax rotational procedures and the factor scores derived for each scale were intercorrelated. Prior to this comparison, DPE responses were contrasted using multiple discriminant function analysis. Results showed there was more communality than uniqueness in the factor structures. Interrelations between the nine common DPE and four DAS factors were generally low but did suggest that: (a) perceptions of death as a gay deceiver were related to a cognitive-affective component of death anxiety; while images of death as a gentle comforter or macabre figure were related to an awareness of the passage of time; and (b) reactions to death and descriptions of the activities of death were associated with concern about physical alterations.
大学生（n = 165）、护理学研究生（n = 102）和殡葬服务专业学生（n = 68）完成了坦普勒死亡焦虑量表（DAS）和一项死亡拟人化练习（DPE）。对DAS和DPE的回答采用方差最大化旋转程序进行主成分因子分析，并且对每个量表得出的因子得分进行相互关联分析。在进行此比较之前，使用多元判别函数分析对DPE的回答进行对比。结果表明，因子结构中共同性多于独特性。九个常见的DPE因子和四个DAS因子之间的相互关系总体较低，但确实表明：（a）将死亡视为一个快乐的欺骗者的认知与死亡焦虑的认知 - 情感成分相关；而将死亡视为温柔安慰者或恐怖形象的认知与对时间流逝的意识相关；以及（b）对死亡的反应和对死亡活动的描述与对身体变化的担忧相关。
