Introduction to the Special Issue
A Life That Mattered
This article explores some of Hannelore Wass's many contributions to the field of death, dying, and bereavement as well as her distinctive teaching and mentoring gifts. It chronicles the highlights of a 30-year relationship that began as shared interests in death, dying and bereavement, expanded into sharing of classroom techniques and models and ultimately became a lasting and treasured friendship
The Early Demise of the “Stronger” Sex
It is well documented that males die at younger ages than females. Although the sex differential in longevity has some basis in biology, many gender-related socialization practices in place in American culture build on existing genetic predispositions to cause males to be more vulnerable than females to early death, especially violent death and death from heart disease. Demographic data are presented to document premature death rates for men rela…
Suffer the Children
Although deaths in childhood and adolescence have decreased greatly across the past century, they remain a reality and a challenge. This article points out specific problems in caring for dying children, including the amount of concern that must be given to age and developmental levels as well as to family and school issues. A brief review of the literature regarding causes of death, children's understanding of death, how children cope with termi…
Living and Dying in Different Worlds
This article examines gender differences in violent death rates by age and ethnicity. Data of U.S. accident, homicide, and suicide death rates show that males die from violent deaths more often than females at all ages, with African American males having the highest violent death rates of all ethnic groups. Factors that contribute to the higher violent death rate for males include an inherited tendency toward aggression, socialization practices t…
Attitudes Toward Suicide
This article maintains that it is important to understand how any given society views the act of suicide. It traces the forces that have shaped attitudes toward suicide in the Western world, documenting the change from viewing suicide as a sin to viewing it as a mental health problem. It also discusses recent methods of assessing attitudes toward suicide, including both normed and non-normed approaches. Finally, it calls for new types of research…
An interdisciplinary undergraduate seminar
This case report describes the development of an interdisciplinary course entitled Death in Psychology and the Theater. The course, conceived as a method of using dramatic literature to illustrate psychological concepts involved in death, dying, grief bereavement, suicide, and AIDS, was team-taught by two professors in psychology and theater arts. This article discusses planning for the course, course content, processes used in the course, assign…

Examining suicide from a life span perspective
Developed from a life span perspective, the suicide-trajectory model includes four categories of risk factors: biological, psychological, cognitive, and environmental. These four risk factors interact with each other, lending their relative weights to the development of suicidal ideation. Suicidal ideation may then lead to warning signs and triggering events, followed by attempted suicide. It is possible to predict certain normative events or cri…

Sex Differences in Attitudes Toward Suicide
This study compares female and male reactions to troubled female and male target figures. The results replicate the findings of four earlier studies that showed that females are move sympathetic than males toward suicidal target figures. Unlike previous studies, however, by using a non-suicidal comparison condition, this study also shows that female sympathy ratings were not influenced by whether or not target figures were suicidal. Male ratings …
Dimensions of the shadow
This study was designed to assess reaction to the nuclear threat on the part of students in six countries using a common instrument, the Nuclear Threat Index (NTI). The NTI is designed to report on three aspects of reactions: cognitive, affective, and behavioral. The study showed that children in each of the six nations reported accurate, realistic knowledge about the effects of nuclear war and that many children reported experiencing negative em…
Ageism and sexism in suicide attitudes
This study was designed to measure attitudes toward suicide by sex and age. The SAVE-A scale was used to measure attitudes toward suicidal adolescents. A new inventory (the SAVE-L scale) was created to measure attitudes toward elderly suicidal people. The SAVE-L scale was found to possess good levels of internal consistency, to correlate in the expected direction with two concurrent validity measures and to break into the same three unitary facto…

Feminist Humor
Despite popular-media claims that feminists lack a sense of humor, there has been little actual research investigating feminist humor and people's reactions to it. Three experiments investigated reactions to humorous feminist slogans that subjects classified into thematic categories. Subjects in Experiment 1 were females and males, over 30 years old, who considered themselves feminists or strongly sympathetic toward feminism. Experiment 2 used fe…
Examining the shadow
The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument to measure student's thoughts, feelings and behaviors concerning the nuclear threat. A total of 272 students enrolled in grades 5-11 of The Cullowhee Experience, a summer program for academically gifted students, participated. Factor analyses yielded 16 specific factors on the three subscales. Internal consistency of the instrument was above,.90 for each subscale. Significant sex differences …

Association for death education and counseling
Organizations have a life cycle. They are born out of need, grow as they speak to that need, evolve to meet changing opportunities, and diminish or die when they no longer are relevant to the lives of their members. As president of the Association for Death Education and Counseling (ADEC), I have been asked to write an article about the organization: to describe the conditions which led to its formation, to review its accomplishments across the f…
Relationships between suicide attitudes and indicators of mental health among adolescents
A growing body of research literature suggests a relationship between mental health status and attitudes toward suicide among adolescents. This paper reports two studies which explored opposite ends of the mental health continuum as they relate to suicide attitudes among young people. The first study compared attitudes toward suicide between a group of institutionalized 15–24 year olds and a group of college students. The second study assessed su…

The demise of Dualism
During the past ten years, research into the workings of the brain has yielded much new information. Two areas of brain research that have implications for therapy are those of hemisphericity and clinical neurotransmitters. This article provides a simple introduction to braining functioning in these two areas, summarizes major findings of research in these areas as they impact on death educators and counselors, and describes two therapeutic appro…

This column departs from the usual News and Notes format to deal with two kinds of programs that are designed to help people become aware of the importance of healthy l…
