Although it has been widely discussed in the literature, no scale has yet been developed to measure the consumption aspect of death. This study aims to develop a domain-specific death-related status consumption (DRSC) scale to bridge this gap in the field. Results reveal the following three dimensions of the scale: conspicuousness, planning, and showing respect. In four studies, which collate the views of 1,302 participants, both students and adults, the DRSC demonstrates internal consistency and validity across cultures (Turkey, the U.S., and culturally diverse sample). The importance of such a scale for the field is discussed.

与死亡相关的身份消费：量表开发和验证

尽管它已在文献中得到广泛讨论，但尚未开发出衡量死亡消费方面的量表。本研究旨在开发一个特定领域的死亡相关状态消耗 (DRSC) 量表，以弥合该领域的这一差距。结果揭示了量表的以下三个维度：引人注目、计划和表示尊重。在四项研究中，整理了 1,302 名参与者（包括学生和成人）的观点，DRSC 展示了跨文化（土耳其、美国和多元文化样本）的内部一致性和有效性。讨论了这种规模对该领域的重要性。
