It was hypothesized that an external locus of control would be correlated with both death anxiety and general anxiety and that the latter two variables would intercorrelate. A separate scale using a Likert-scale format and consisting of the Pt scale of the MMPI and items from a death attitude scale assessed general anxiety and death concern. Significant but small correlations obtained for each major hypothesis and sex and depressive-fear, age and locus of control, age and depressive-fear, birth rank and depressive-fear, and recency of contact with death and depressive-fear
