Abstract
The fear of death (and other attitudes toward death) were explored in male and female students, together with masculinity/femininity scores as a covariate. Both sex and masculinity/femininity scores had little relationship with attitudes toward death. Furthermore, masculinity/femininity scores did not account for the sex differences observed, and sex did not account for the relationship between masculinity/femininity scores and attitudes toward death.
