ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship of college students among death attitude,self-respect,and locus of control character.Methods Death attitude questionnaire,Rosenberger self-respect questionnaire and locus of control Inclination questionnaire were administered to 442 college students chosen by random sampling.Results ①Death attitudes order:death neutrality(3.78±0.62),death escape(2.90±0.77),terror of death(2.71±0.73),approach acceptance (2.49 ± 0.69) and escape acceptance (2.44 ± 0.84).② Different self-respect gradation students displayed significant difference on the terror of death,death neutrality,approach acceptance and escape acceptance (P＜0.05) ;and different character students displayed significant difference on the terror of death,death escape and escape acceptance(P＜0.05).③Self-respect had significant positive correlation with death neutrality (P＜0.01),while had negative correlation with terror of death,death escape,approach acceptance and escape acceptance (P＜0.01);and locus of control character had significant positive correlation with death fear and escape acceptance(P＜0.01).④Self-respect,locus of control character,health condition,discussions over death situation,and meaning of life have a degree of forecasting power over death attitude.Conclusion There is a close correlation among death attitude,self-respect,locus of control character.
