TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - The factorial structure of the Arabic version of the revised Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale JO - Death studies A1 - Abdel-Khalek, Ahmed M. A1 - Lester, David SP - 787 EP - 793 VL - 28 IS - 8 N2 - A sample of 209 volunteer Kuwaiti undergraduates responded to an Arabic version of the Revised Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale with 4 subscales: Death of Self, Dying of Self, Death of Others, and Dying of Others. Reliabilities of the 4 subscales and of the grand total score ranged from 0.75 to 0.92, which is considered adequate. A 4-factor solution was congruent with the allocation of items to 2 subscales (i.e. Dying of Self and Death of Others), whereas the theorized factor structure of the other 2 subscales were only partially supported by empirical analyses. The intercorrelations between the 4 total subscale scores yielded a general factor of death and dying, denoting good factorial validity of the scale.
