  • Title: Death anxiety as related to somatic symptoms in two cultures.
    Author: Abdel-Khalek AM, Lester D.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 2009 Oct; 105(2):409-10. PubMed ID: 19928602.
    Abstract:
    Two undergraduate samples from Kuwait (52 men, 157 women; M age = 21.2 yr., SD =2.1) and the USA (46 men, 145 women; M age = 22.4 yr., SD = 5.3) answered the Somatic Symptoms Inventory, the Arabic Scale of Death Anxiety, and the Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale. The Kuwaiti sample obtained significantly higher mean scores on all the scales than the American sample. Scores on the Somatic Symptoms Inventory were positively correlated with Death Anxiety scores, indicating that people who enjoy good physical health are less concerned with death.
