Two studies, conducted 3 months before the Israeli pullout from the Gaza Strip and the Northern West Bank, examined whether reminders of death would lead right-wing Israelis to endorse violent resistance against the disengagement plan. More specifically, we hypothesized that this reaction would be particularly strong among participants high in denial--those who were unable to come to terms with the Israeli withdrawal. In Study 1 (N = 63), right-wing Israeli undergraduates were primed with death and asked to indicate whether they view violent resistance as legitimate and whether they would be willing to partake in such violence. In Study 2 (N = 42), Israeli settlers in the Gaza Strip completed a similar procedure as in Study 1. In both studies, primes of death led to greater support of violent resistance, but only among participants high in denial. The discussion examines the applicability of terror management theory to understanding real-life political crises.
两项研究在以色列从加沙地带和约旦河西岸北部撤离前3个月进行，考察了对死亡的提示是否会导致右翼以色列人支持针对脱离接触计划的暴力抵抗。更具体地说，我们假设这种反应在否认程度高的参与者中会特别强烈——即那些无法接受以色列撤离的人。在研究1（N = 63）中，对右翼以色列大学生进行死亡提示，然后要求他们表明是否认为暴力抵抗是正当的，以及他们是否愿意参与这种暴力行为。在研究2（N = 42）中，加沙地带的以色列定居者完成了与研究1类似的程序。在两项研究中，死亡提示都导致对暴力抵抗的更大支持，但仅在否认程度高的参与者中如此。讨论部分考察了恐怖管理理论在理解现实政治危机方面的适用性。
