Overview

Preregistered replication report reveals unreplicable mortality salience effects across 22 international laboratories, indicating that death priming works best without time delays.

Key Points

  • Death-thought accessibility increases immediately following mortality salience priming, but specific cultural endorsement findings failed to replicate.
  • Data across 3,447 participants from 22 labs revealed that priming effects were strongest when administered without any intermediate time delay.
  • Highlights persistent uncertainty regarding terror management theory mechanisms, calling for rigorous preregistered replication of delay effects.
