Abstract
The development of a measure assessing attitudes toward euthanasia is presented, where data gathered from over 400 young adults yielded a th irty item Likert scale with high internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Additionally, the discriminant validity of the scale was found in comparisons of those with death-related versus non-death-rela ted experiences.
