• Death anxiety in the time of COVID-19: theoretical explanations and clinical implications (2020, background): “Similar effects have been observed in more than 12 countries worldwide (Greenberg and Kosloff, 2008).”
• Perceived threats of terrorism and job performance: The roles of job-related anxiety and religiousness (2017, background): “In conditions that enhance an awareness of death, such as strong threats of terrorism, the personal resource of religiousness can provide a sense of symbolic immortality, as well as social support (Greenberg & Kosloff, 2008; Pargament, 1997), which may counter employees' resource depletion.”
