For this study, 194 respondents completed a biographical data sheet, the Templer (1970) Death Anxiety Scale and the Constantinople (1973) Inventory of Psychosocial Development to help assess the relationship among death anxiety, age, and psychosocial maturity. Findings showed that psychosocial maturity was a better predictor of death anxiety than age was. However, both variables were significantly negatively correlated with death anxiety, revealing that as psychosocial maturity and age increase, death anxiety decreases.
在本研究中，194名受访者填写了一份个人资料表、坦普勒（1970年）死亡焦虑量表和君士坦丁堡（1973年）社会心理发展量表，以帮助评估死亡焦虑、年龄和社会心理成熟度之间的关系。研究结果表明，社会心理成熟度比年龄更能预测死亡焦虑。然而，这两个变量均与死亡焦虑显著负相关，表明随着社会心理成熟度和年龄的增加，死亡焦虑会降低。
