Preliminary Study

This research tested the hypotheses that belief in the paranormal is associated with a lessening of death anxiety and that direct experiences of the paranormal are stronger correlates with less fear than the stated belief. Contrary to predictions, scores on Templer's 1970 Death Anxiety Scale were not associated with scores on either Belief in the Paranormal or Paranormal Experiences, subscales of the Anomalous Experiences Inventory. Instead, significant sex differences were found on three out of the five subscales which indicate a need to clarify possible sex-specific variables in the perception and report of anomalous phenomena by 14 men and 19 women.

Do So

Data derived from an administration of the Death Anxiety Scale [1] to Australian samples is analyzed with a view to providing comparative cross-cultural observations as well as some indication of realiability and validity in the Australian context. Measures of central tendency and dispersion and sex differences were found to be comparable with other surveys of similar groups to those of the present study. The Scale does not appear to suffer from acquisence set, is internally reliable and groups that would be expected to score lower than others, do so – providing some indication of construct validity. The Scale is not “factorially-pure,” however, and at least three “sub-scales” can be identified. These sub-scales are analyzed and discussed.

Degree of death anxiety as a function of the frequencies of sexual fantasy was examined. Two groups of volunteer male and female graduate students were administered the Livingston-Zimet “Death Anxiety Scale” (DAS). The ninety-eight members of group I were asked to extemporaneously self-estimate the frequency of sexual fantasies per month, while the thirty-six in group II made actual daily counts of sexual fantasies with the use of wrist counters. Both groups I and II were individually divided into three subgroups as to “high,” “moderate,” and “low” death anxiety by rank-ordered scores on the DAS. Sexual fantasies were examined in three fantasy conditions: “Daydream,” “masturbatory,” and “during sex relations.” Findings from both groups I and II supported the hypothesis that those having “high” and “low” death anxiety will have more frequent sexual fantasies than “moderate” death anxious subjects.
