The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of a death education intervention, experiential group, on death attitude and purpose in life in National Taiwan Normal University undergraduates. The study sought to determine whether participating in the program resulted in change in death attitude and awareness of purpose in life. A non-randomized pretest- posttest design was used with a treatment group and a control group. Thirty students participated in the study. They were randomly assigned to a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group (N = 12 ) participated in a experiential death education group, the program being designed by the researcher. It took them 21 hours (eight sessions) in four weeks to receive the death education program .The control group ( N = 18 ) received no treatment. The independent variable was the death education intervention. The dependent variables were death attitude , which was measured by the Death Attitude Scale, and awareness of purpose in life, which was measured by Purpose in life Test. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), with the pretest used as a covariate was used to test the hypotheses. The researcher also analyzed the contents obtained from the transcript of the eight group sessions and from members' group feedback sheets in the experimental group. The results : there is statistically significant difference of the scores on the posttest Death Attitude Scale between the treatment group and the control group. However, there is no statistically significant difference of the scores on the posttest Purpose in Life Test between the treatment group and the control group.The results suggest : the experiential death education group made Taiwan Normal University undergraduates reduce their fear of death, but couldn't increase their awareness of purpose in life. The results of the study and application of the program were discussed and suggestions for future research were proposed.
