Death Attitudes Across the Life-Span: The Development and Validation of the Death Attitude Profile (DAP).
Gesser, Gina; And Others
Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, v18 n2 p113-28 1987-88
The Death Attitude Profile was developed and four orthogonal factors were identified: Fear of Death/Dying, Approach-Oriented Death Acceptance, Escape-Oriented Death Acceptance, and Neutral Death Acceptance. An elderly sample (N=50) showed less fear of death and more acceptance (all three kinds of acceptance) than did middle aged (N=50) and young (N=50) samples. (Author/NB)
