Abstract

It was hypothesized that individuals who are reminded of their own mortality will experience anxiety which is reduced by an increased need for belief in immortality. A questionnaire assessing the need for literal and two forms of symbolic immortality was developed. Analysis showed that awareness of mortality increased scores on the need for literal immortality but not on either form of symbolic immortality.

摘要

研究假设，那些被提醒自己必死命运的个体将会体验到焦虑，而对永生信念需求的增加会减轻这种焦虑。为此研发了一份问卷，用于评估对字面意义上的永生以及两种象征形式的永生的需求。分析表明，对必死命运的认知会使对字面意义上的永生需求得分增加，但不会使任何一种象征形式的永生需求得分增加。
