| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 生命教育與健康促進研究所 === 98 === The purpose of this research is to understand college students’ death attitudes and to explore the differences between these in terms of individual background and environmental experiences variables. This research used national college students as the population and applied 783 stratified random samples to a survey design and qualitative interviews to obtain demographic information and a Death Attitude Profile-Revised（DAP-R）. The main findings are as follows：
1. Among the DAP-R subscales, the highest score for death attitude shows that the participants have a neutral acceptance of death, followed by an approach acceptance, a fear of death, death avoidance and escape acceptance.
2. The differences between the death attitudes of the participants are statistically significant according to their personal background, gender, religious belief, degree of understanding of one’s religious belief, and degree of religious belief practice.
3. The death attitudes of the participants differ according to the participants’ different environmental experiences, including contact with life and death study or life and death correlated educational curriculum experiences, whether the family talks about death issues, access to death reports (television or newspapers) experiences, access to war, violent video game experiences, as well as their mothers' religious belief.
Based on the results, the research also proposes some suggestions for future study in the field of death education, and how school teachers and parents can deliver a proper death education to university students.
