Children's Perception of Death in Humans and Animals as a Function of Age, Anxiety and Cognitive Ability.
Orbach, Israel; And Others
Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry and Allied Disciplines, v26 n3 p453-63 May 1985
Findings indicate a main effect of age, anxiety, and cognition on the conception of animal and human death. Human death scores were higher than animal death scores. Anxiety had a stranger impact on cognitively high subjects than on cognitively low subjects. Cognition affected the animal death concept more than the human death concept. (Author/RH)
