The impact of death and dying counseling groups on death anxiety in college students
Abstract
The object of this study was to examine the effects of in vivo systematic desensitization and systematic desensitization with symbolic modeling on college students who participated in counseling groups on death and dying. The design employed a three-factor mixed model; three treatments crossed with four leaders, with two groups nested within treatment and leader. Analysis of covariance was run on two immediate posttest questionnaires and on the follow-up questionnaire using pretests as covariates. No significant differences were found between the treatment groups and control groups as measured by the immediate posttests or the follow-up posttest.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
