Abstract
The present investigation utilized coping capacities as desired outcomes and sought to evaluate the effects of one death education seminar. An experimental group (N = 24) experienced the entire seminar while a control group (N = 30) participated in only two class sessions. All completed the “Coping with Death Scale” at the beginning of the semester and again three weeks later. Results indicated significant changes in coping capacity on twenty-three out of thirty items for the experimental group. The control group revealed significance on only one item. Implications for students and death educators were discussed.Keywords
