The study combined two proposals from the literature that death anxiety may be a multidimensional concept, and avoidance of death may be a strong underlying factor in death anxiety to explain the loss of student-nurse volunteers for the completion of a behavioral phase in a two part study. The first phase of the study was self-report. Results indicated death anxiety as measured by Templer's Death Anxiety Scale successfully predicted those student nurses who would not volunteer for the second (behavioral) phase of the study. Results also implied other variables may have been operating. These variables and recommendations for solving the difficulties for research with volunteers in this area are discussed
