The Arabic Scale of Death Anxiety (ASDA) was administered, individually, to 7
groups (N = 765) of Egyptian normal participants (non-clinical), anxiety disorder
patients, and patients suffering from schizophrenia (males and females), and
addicts (males only). They were generally matched as groups according to age,
occupation, and education. The female and male anxiety disorder patients means
were, respectively, significantly higher than the means of the other 5 groups on
the ASDA, while male schizophrenics attained the lowest mean score in proportion
to all the other 6 groups, including the non-clinical 2 groups. All female groups
have higher mean scores than their male counterparts.
