Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess possible differences between black and white college students on Templer's Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) and to determine whether the DAS adequately measures death anxiety in black populations. Ss were 258 undergraduates from Lincoln University, 124 whites (66 males; 58 females) and 134 blacks (72 males; 62 females). No mean differences between race and sex categories were found to be significant. Therefore, the assumption is supported that blacks and whites share similar attitudes toward death.Keywords
