Relationship between Death Anxiety and Suicide Potential in An Adolescent Population

The relationship between death anxiety and suicide potential was examined in a sample of 62 male and female adolescents whose ages ranged from 16 to 20 yr. A Pearson product-moment correlation between scores on Templer's Death Anxiety Scale and Cull and Gill's Suicide Probability Scale was significant for death anxiety and suicide potential, with higher death anxiety associated with greater suicidal risk. The implications of this association with respect to adolescent suicidal behaviors is discussed
