Male and female university students in Northern Ireland (n = 315) and Canada (n = 255) completed Templer's Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) and the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (MAS). Results of a discriminant function analysis indicated that Canadian students showed more concern about being afraid to die and thoughts of death, while students from the North of Ireland were more concerned about getting cancer, the shortness of life, and the viewing of a corpse. However, total DAS scores failed to show significance between group differences (p greater than .10). Correlations between DAS and MAS total scores were r = .34 for Northern Ireland and r = .31 for Canadian students.
北爱尔兰（n = 315）和加拿大（n = 255）的男女大学生完成了坦普勒死亡焦虑量表（DAS）和泰勒显性焦虑量表（MAS）。判别函数分析结果表明，加拿大学生更担心害怕死亡和对死亡的想法，而北爱尔兰的学生更担心患癌症、生命短暂以及看到尸体。然而，DAS总分在两组差异之间未显示出显著性（p大于0.10）。北爱尔兰学生的DAS和MAS总分之间的相关性为r = 0.34，加拿大学生为r = 0.31。
