Before dismissing decades of research from one paper that had some substantial methodological issues, check out the rebuttal to the ManyLabs study here: https://psyarxiv.com/ejubn One flawed study does not invalidate 1000+ successful replications performed in over 25 countries.

I have also posted a whole series of independent, high powered replication failures in recent years. And the theory rest largely on "priming" studies, which have been completely debunked, and which were a major trigger of the reproducibility crisis.

It was never a plausible theory, although I was agnostic about the mortality salience effects. I'm not surprised to see it fall, though.

Dang, this one is rough for some research proposals I was pretty excited about pursuing. There were a lot of studies that made me pretty confident about this effect, but there's no way to responsibly ignore this one. Time to adjust a bunch of my beliefs.

Hmpf, it was my choice as a special subject for my Vordiplom in social psychology, loved it and could really relate to it, also the work of yalom. Glad I changed to mathematics, replication rate 100% (but zero insight into human condition sigh).

I personally could not relate to this theory at all. I know I'm going to die. I'm okay with that. On the other hand, I am terrified of: being badly injured or incapacitated but not dying, and terrified of being the last person in my friend and family network to die.
