Possible differences between death depression and death anxiety were explored for 182 students, 81 church members, and 41 employees of an air terminal. Both female gender and older age were more highly associated with greater death anxiety than with greater death depression. Living without a significant other was associated with greater death depression than with death anxiety.
The neuropsychological spectrum was investigated in a traumatically brain-damaged population. In this spectrum neuropsychological measures were regarded as the most biologically oriented, achievement measures as the most acquired skill-oriented, and intellectual measures as having an intermediate position. It was found that the achievement measures correlated the most highly with each other, the intellectual measures intercorrelated to a lesser extent, and the intercorrelations of neuropsychological measures yielded a zero-order median correlation. It was further found that the correlations of measures with those in other categories had the same ranking. It was inferred that brain damage alters the pattern of the neuropsychological spectrum because of disproportionate impairment in the biological direction of the spectrum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
