SESTD
Satzergänzungstest zu Einstellungen zu Sterben, Tod und Danach
Short abstract
The SESTD can be used to record attitudes towards the end of life, allowing the respondent a wide range of responses and thus enabling him to express his own thoughts, meanings and emotions in a projective manner. The method is particularly suitable for qualitative analyses, e.g. to find out whether different groups have different ideas and emotions about dying, death and afterwards. According to the three-component model of attitude (Katz & Stotland, 1959; Rosenberg & Hovland, 1963), cognitive, emotional and behavioural aspects are to be provoked. The sentence completion test was developed together with a questionnaire to answer the question of how people deal with the fact of their mortality, inevitable death and the "afterwards". The task is to complete 20 unfinished phrases that are ordered by the three areas of dying, death, and after. Reliability: No information. Validity: Content validity is given.
