Defensive reactions to health-promoting information: an overview and implications for future research (2013, background): “Greenberg et al, 2000 )? We now turn to this issue, summarising relevant literature and integrating the findings that we have reviewed above.”
Religious Fundamentalism and Terror Management (2008, background): “Filler tasks were included because distal coping methods like worldview validation begin to appear only after awareness of death has receded from conscious attention ( Greenberg, Arndt, Simon, Pyszczynski, & Solomon, 2000 ; Pyszczynski, et al, 2003 ).”
A blast from the past: The terror management function of nostalgia. (2008, methodology): “The puzzle task involved spending 3 minutes searching for television related words (e.g., channel, program) embedded in two letter matrices Batcho Nostalgia Inventory ( Greenberg, Arndt, Simon, Pyszczynski, & Solomon (2000) ).”
When death thoughts lead to death fears: Mortality salience increases death anxiety for individuals who lack meaning in life (2010, methodology): “As in previous research, the experimental induction was followed with a puzzle distraction task (Greenberg, Arndt, Simon, Pyszczynski, & Solomon, 2000 ).”
Fleeing the Body: A Terror Management Perspective on the Problem of Human Corporeality (2000, background): “…and assessment of defense, after subliminal reminders of death, and whenever death-related thought is highly accessible but outside current focal attention (e.g., Arndt, Greenberg, Pyszczynski, et al., 1997; Arndt, Greenberg, Solomon, Pyszczynski, & Simon, 1997; Greenberg et al., 1994, 2000).”
Two Decades of Terror Management Theory: A Meta-Analysis of Mortality Salience Research (2010, background): “…death is still in focal awareness or consciousness, MS does not lead to distal defenses; rather, MS exerts its effects on these defenses after a short delay when death thoughts have exited consciousness yet remain highly accessible (e.g., Arndt, Greenberg, & Cook, 2002; Greenberg et al., 2000).”
Traces of Terror: Subliminal Death Primes and Facial Electromyographic Indices of Affect (2001, background): “... either actively suppressing mortality thoughts (Arndt, Greenberg, Solomon, et al., 1997), often through the use of distraction (Greenberg, Pyszczynski, Solomon, Simon, & Breus, 1994), shifting to an external focus of attention and avoiding self-reflective thought (Arndt, Greenberg, Pyszczynski, ”
