It’s a big call to say a theory with 300+ studies supporting it has run aground because of 1 study with n=100... I’ve run 2 mortality salience studies in the last few years, both pre-registered and sufficiently powered, both found huge effects (1 halfway through recruitment now)
The bulk of the supporting studies were based on unconscious priming, which is now recognized as a pseudoscience, which played a major role in triggering the reproducibility crisis. Also the theoretical grounding is ultrathin.
I take this to mean that others share their impression. Also it is amply showcased in the textbooks, eg the one by Fiske and Gilbert.https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/1129398928556871680 …
The originators themselves called it "the" cornerstone. Also I encountered it in courses and my socpsy textbooks. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1207/s15327965pli0801_9?journalCode=hpli20 …pic.twitter.com/vlEorhPw7h
This is not a cornerstone theory. Interesting data nonetheless.
Several of the primary articles on the theory reached the citation count of the one below. That makes it at least one of the most cited theories of the field.pic.twitter.com/EkDgdwo0iF
Not even close to a "cornerstone".
Sure there are problems with TMT but the preprint reports a single study with 100 participants. Not exactly the kind of study that would sound the death knell for a theory.
