Abstract
45 male Ss were asked to rate 17 statements concerning attitudes toward death using the Edwards social desirability technique. These statements differed on 2 dimensions: healthy vs unhealthy and hysterical vs obsessive. Healthy sensitivity was found to be most socially desirable followed by healthy insensitivity, unhealthy insensitivity, unhealthy sensitivity.Keywords
