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.

Black and white college students ( N = 194) completed the Internal, Powerful Others, and Chance locus of control scales. Findings indicated that students from low-income families had stronger perceptions that their lives were controlled by chance forces than wealthier students ( p < .05). Analyses of covariance controlling for level of socioeconomic status showed that blacks scored significantly higher than whites in their perception of control by powerful others ( p < .05) and chance forces ( p < .001).

Femininity Scale

From 1973 through 1986 black and white college students took the Gough Femininity Scale. 1528 black females were not different from 936 white females, nor were 664 black males different from 554 white males. There were no apparent trends of increasing or decreasing femininity or masculinity, nor decreasing differences between men and women over the length of the study. Scores from 1973 through 1986 were not different from Gough's 1952 standardization sample.
