  1. Right-wing authoritarians are gaining ground across the world, and one body of research has an unusual explanation for why that's the case: our collective death anxiety. Green burials, however, might be able to help solve the problem.

  3. In the 'Expertise of Death' episode of the The Black Goat podcast (theblackgoatpodcast.com/posts/) the hosts declare Terror Management Theory "dead in the water" because the results of a foundational TMT study could not be reproduced (Many Labs 4 osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/vef2). Would this be considered the general consensus around TMT at this time?

  6. Graphic from whenyoudie.org.

    I am still afraid of dying, but I want to be open to the idea, as this quote suggests, that it is "just a change".

  7. Here are the slides for a recent presentation I gave of our study on #existential #psychology osf.io/kwjsy

    In the study we coded and interpreted 803 short text responses about either #death or toothache. We found little to indicate #DeathAnxiety or #DefenseMechanisms. Article and dataset are #OpenAccess.

  9. #Existential philosophy and psychology assume that strong negative thoughts about #death influences many aspects of our lives, often #unconsciously.

    In an article just published in #Collabra: Psychology (n=803), we found that "death" was seen as less negative and more positive than "toothache". We found little to indicate #DeathAnxiety or #DefenseMechanisms. Article and dataset are #OpenAccess. This is Sina Storelv's first first authored paper!

  11. Probably the best introduction to the practical side of combating death anxiety I know of. Doesn't mean it's easy though! I find the idea of "remembering death" really challenging.

  12. Huh. What happened in 2020? I want to speculate that the pandemic made people feel grateful to be alive & to have the health that they had.
