Death Anxiety Scale (DAS)
Templer's Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) is a self-administered questionnaire that assesses the level of anxiety a person experiences about death. It is a widely used tool in clinical psychology and research to quantify the fear of death and to better understand the impact of this anxiety on the individual's psychological functioning.
