Abstract:
In 1970, Psychology Today published the "You and Death" questionnaire, a 75-item instrument designed by Edwin Shneidman of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences in consultation with Edwin Parker and G. Ray Funkhouser of Stanford University. This article compares data gathered through the same instrument from death education classes spanning 25 years across 3 decades. The results offer a unique opportunity to compare attitudes toward and beliefs about death with the original responses as well as to note changes across decades within a similar population.
