African- and Euro-American samples differ little in scores on death anxiety. [Journal Article]
Psychol Rep 1998 Oct; 83(2):623-6.
Samples of 293 students of European heritage and 102 students of African heritage completed the Revised Death Anxiety Scale. Euro-Americans were more concerned with the uncertainty associated with death and with the loss of being, while African Americans expressed greater anxiety over the pain associated with dying, but there was no significant mean difference in total scores for the groups.
