Concurrent and Divergent Validity of the Spanish Form of Templer's Death Anxiety Scale

The aim of this study was to examine the concurrent and divergent validity of the Spanish form of Templer's Death Anxiety Scale. A sample of 328 Spanish students responded anonymously to a questionnaire which, in addition to the Death Anxiety Scale, included the Spanish forms of two death anxiety scales and two scales of general anxiety. Although the correlations with measures of death anxiety were notably higher than those with measures of general anxiety, there were positive and significant correlations between scores on the Death Anxiety Scale and on all the other scales, denoting the concurrent and divergent validity of the Spanish form of the Death Anxiety Scale
