Two Decades of Terror Management Theory: A Meta-Analysis of Mortality Salience Research (2010, background): “We wanted to further examine these alternative accounts for MS effects (Martin, 1999; I. McGregor et al., 2001; Proulx & Heine, 2006; van den Bos et al., 2005) in a subsequent analysis.”
Threat and defense: From anxiety to approach (2014, background): “Other theories postulate that threats elicit BIS-related phenomena such as potential for anxiety (Greenberg et al., 2003), a sense of lacking control (Fritsche et al., 2011), personal uncertainty (Van den Bos et al., 2005), or anxious uncertainty (McGregor, Nash, Mann, et al., 2010).”
Religious Zeal and the Uncertain Self (2008, background): “Correlational research has found links between various measures of uncertainty-aversion and extremity of conservative ideology (Jost, Glaser, Kruglanski, & Sulloway, 2003 ), and experimental research has found that zealous reactions are aroused by, and mask, personal uncertainty (McGregor, 2006b ;”
Religious Fundamentalism and Terror Management (2008, result): “This measure of worldview defense is similar to many other similar university-related worldview defense measures in the TMT literature (eg, Martens, Jonas, Zanna, & Greenberg, 2004 ; McGregor, Zanna, Holmes, & Spencer, 2001 ; van den Bos, Poortvliet, Maas, Miedema, & van den Ham, 2005 ).”
Death and Black Diamonds: Meaning, Mortality, and the Meaning Maintenance Model (2006, background): “Van den Bos and colleagues (Van den Bos & Miedema, 2000, 2003; Van den Bos et al., 2005) found that feelings of uncertainty led people to be more upset about unfair treatment in an unrelated domain (unfair treatment challenges one’s expected relationships between behaviors and outcomes).”
Political ideology: its structure, functions, and elective affinities. (2009, background): “…ARI 27 October 2008 16:17 and a generally stronger preference for aggressive responses to individuals and groups who are perceived as threatening to the cultural worldview (for a review, see Pyszczynski et al. 1999; see also Arndt et al. 2002, Schimel et al. 1999, van den Bos et al. 2005).”
Uncertainty Increases the Reliance on Affect in Decisions (2017, unknown): “This pretest additionally showed that this manipulation does not alter participants’ mood, which is consistent with previous results observed with similar manipulations of uncertainty (McGregor et al. 2001; van den Bos et al. 2005).”
Anxious Uncertainty and Reactive Approach Motivation (RAM) for Religious, Idealistic, and Lifestyle Extremes (2013, background): “…evidence of links between various threats and subjective personal uncertainty (Arndt & Goldenberg, 2002; Elliot & Devine, 1994; Nash et al., 2011; Van den Bos et al., 2005; Van Harreveld et al., 2009), evidence for mediation of the link between threat and defense by personal uncertainty has been…”
The Uncertainty Paradox: Perceived Threat Moderates the Effect of Uncertainty on Political Tolerance (2014, background): “In addition, there is reason to believe that the mortality salience manipulation may already contain an element of uncertainty (see Van Den Bos et al., 2005) and as such may not represent a clean manipulation of threat.”
On the Unique Psychological Import of the Human Awareness of Mortality: Theme and Variations (2006, background): “Perhaps it has something to do with the types of outcome variables assessed in these studies: van den Bos and colleagues (2005) typically assess justice striving in response to being treated unfairly, which might be more affected by uncertainty concerns than the outcome variables assessed in our s”
