Death Anxiety and Social Exclusion Death, Funerary Practices, and Mourning Cultural Differences and Values

Abstract

Reported death anxiety in Malaysian and Australian individuals was compared. The Malaysian subjects were 125 university students residing in Australia, and the Australian subjects were 159 students at the same institutions. As predicted, Australian students had significantly, but only slightly, higher death anxiety scores than Malaysian students. Females had significantly higher death anxiety scores than males in both samples. The findings are explained in terms of factors in Eastern cultures that more effectively control fear of death.
