    Resumen
    This research adapted Templer's Death Anxiety Scale (1970) for Mexican Spanish and obtained psychometric properties for two samples of Mexican adults. A total of 314 subjects were interviewed, 165 of whom were elderly adults (97 women, average age 61.7, SD = 9.7 and 68 men, average age 62.7, SD = 8.3) and 149 undergraduate students (132 women, average age 19.4, SD = 1.3 and 17 men, average age 19.9, SD = 1.3. The scale was changed to a four point Likert scale. The principal component analysis with varimax rotation, applied to the data from both samples (elderly adults and undergraduate students), yielded 3 factors for each group. The factor structure obtained from the responses provided by the undergraduate students only slightly agreed with that reported by Tomás-Sábado and Gómez-Benito (2002) for an equivalent Spanish sample. Internal consistence for elderly adults was a=.86, and a=.83 for undergraduate students. Discriminant validity was documented. The version of Templer's Death Anxiety Scale presented would seem to have adequate psychometric properties for its use with elderly Mexican adults. Finally, the results provide evidence of the possible impact the cultural differences between Spanish-speaking nations and generations have on the psychometric properties of the scale. Key words: Anxiety, Death, elderly adults, undergraduate students.
     
    La presente investigación adaptó la Escala de Ansiedad ante la Muerte de Templer (1970) al español mexicano y obtuvo sus propiedades psicométricas para dos muestras de adultos mexicanos radicados en la ciudad de México. Se entrevistaron 314 sujetos: 165 fueron adultos mayores (97 mujeres y 68 hombres con una edad media de 61.7 y 62.7 respectivamente) y 149 estudiantes universitarios (132 mujeres y 17 hombres con una edad media de 19.4 y 19.9 años). La escala de respuesta se cambió por una escala Likert de cuatro puntos. La estructura del instrumento fue evaluada mediante análisis factorial de componentes principales con rotación varimax en ambas muestras, logrando tres factores para cada grupo. La estructura factorial obtenida de las respuestas de los estudiantes universitarios sólo concordó ligeramente con lo reportado por Tomás-Sábado & Gómez-Benito (2002) en una muestra española equivalente. La consistencia interna del instrumento, medida con el alfa de Cronbach, en cada muestra indica para adultos mayores (.86) y para estudiantes (.83). Se obtuvieron propiedades psicométricas que la hacen recomendable para su uso en adultos mayores mexicanos. Finalmente, los resultados aportan nuevas evidencias sobre los efectos psicométricos derivados del posible impacto cultural de diferentes naciones de habla hispana y, entre generaciones.Palabras clave: ansiedad, muerte, adultos mayores, estudiantes universitarios.
