生命终结决定（ELDs）是一个有争议的话题，在伦理学和医学的交叉点上存在伦理困境和经验歧义。在非西方人群中，我们研究了个体对安乐死是否可以接受的认知差异，发现对安乐死的态度（ATE）量表由代表自愿和非自愿安乐死的2个因素组成。此外，接受结束患者生命的eld与生活满意度、诚实-谦卑、尽责性以及内在和外在的个人宗教动机呈负相关。这些发现为ATE量表提供了额外的结构效度。
End-of-life decisions (ELDs) represent a controversial subject, with ethical dilemmas and empirical ambiguities that stand at the intersection of ethics and medicine. In a non-Western population, we examined individual differences in perceiving ELDs that end the life of a patient as acceptable and found that an attitude toward euthanasia (ATE) scale consists of 2 factors representing voluntary and nonvoluntary euthanasia. Also, acceptance of ELDs that end the life of a patient negatively correlated with life satisfaction, honesty-humility, conscientiousness, and intrinsic and extrinsic personal motivation toward religion. These findings provided additional construct validity of the ATE scale.
