Donald Templer

Donald I. Templer (1938 - 2016)[1] was an American psychologist. He was a former professor of psychology at Alliant International University in Fresno, California.[2]

Education

Templer received his Ph.D. from the University of Kentucky in 1967.[3]

Work

Templer developed the Death Anxiety Scale, the best-known scale used to measure death anxiety, in 1970.[4][5] He has been widely published in many areas of social and psychological research. His most recent studies focused on race and intelligence and he spoke on the subject at white nationalist American Renaissance conferences.[2][6] For example, he and Horiko Arikawa argued in a 2006 study that colder climates favor higher IQs because it is more difficult to live in such areas.[7][8] In 2002, he published the book Is Size Important?, which focuses on variations in human penis size and preferences for penises of certain sizes. He appeared on the Howard Stern Show to discuss this subject in 2007, where Stern referred to him as "Dr. Penis".[9]
