Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to try psychological approach about "a sense of self-determination of death" on which discussion was not being piled in psychology compared with other areas up to now. "Scale for sense of self-determination of death" was made newly through study 1-4, and a possibility that there are three attitudes (the negative attitude, the affirmative attitude and the conditional affirmative attitude) was indicated. Then, a possibility that a relation with the family, a confidence about health and self-consciousness whether one seemed to be oneself are having an influence on a sense of self-determination of death was suggested.
