A total of 399 individuals completed a lethal-behaviors scale and a measure of death anxiety, which were found to have no significant correlation. Item analysis of the lethal-behaviors scale indicated a number of the best predictors of lethalness. The most lethal individuals in this sample were young, male, and less educated. These people may be exercising both death-denying and fear-of-death-denying behaviors
