This ex-post facto cross-cultural study was designed to compare five dimensions of attitudes toward death (fear of death, death avoidance, neutral acceptance of death, approach acceptance of death, and escape acceptance of death) and related personal factors (spirituality, emotional support, and religiosity) among American and Chinese older adults. Using survey method, data were collected from a convenience sample of older adults living in central Ohio areas and the metropolitan city of Taipei in Taiwan. A total of 178 older adults (91 Americans and 87 Chinese) participated in this study.

520 $a This ex-post facto cross-cultural study was designed to compare five dimensions of attitudes toward death (fear of death, death avoidance, neutral acceptance of death, approach acceptance of death, and escape acceptance of death) and related personal factors (spirituality, emotional support, and religiosity) among American and Chinese older adults. Using survey method, data were collected from a convenience sample of older adults living in central Ohio areas and the metropolitan city of Taipei in Taiwan. A total of 178 older adults (91 Americans and 87 Chinese) participated in this study.
520 $a Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used in data analysis. In this study, the typical American older adults were female, between 65 and 74 years old, married, lived with their spouses, had at least a high school or higher education, and identified their religion as Protestant. The typical Chinese older adults were female, between 65 and 74 years old, married, and lived with their spouses. Slightly over 60% of Chinese had a high school diploma. Most identified their religions as Buddhism (40%), Protestant (23%), or dual religions (20%).
520 $a Older adults in this study were categorized into four groups: American young-old, American old-old, Chinese young-old, and Chinese old-old. ANOVA revealed that a statistically significant difference existed between these four groups of older adults in death avoidance attitude. However, a significant difference of approach acceptance of death attitude, existed only between three groups of American and Chinese subjects. No statistically significant differences existed between American and Chinese older adults in fear of death, neutral acceptance, and escape acceptance of death attitudes.
520 $a Multiple regression analyses revealed that for American older adults, spirituality contributed a significant proportion to the variance in their fear of death and avoidance of death attitudes but both spirituality and religiosity contributed to their approach acceptance and escape acceptance of death attitudes. For Chinese older adults, spirituality contributed a significant proportion to the variance in their fear of death and religiosity contributed a significant proportion to their approach acceptance of death attitudes. Emotional support failed to demonstrate any statistically significant relationship with death attitudes in either American or Chinese subjects.
