%T Who's Afraid of Death and Terrorists? Investigating Moderating Effects of Sense of Coherence, Mindfulness, Neuroticism, and Meaning in Life on Mortality Salience %A Grevenstein, Dennis %A Bluemke, Matthias %J Journal of Articles in Support of the Null Hypothesis %N 1 %P 25-36 %V 13 %D 2016 %K mortality salience; sense of coherence; mindfulness; meaning in life %@ 1539-8714 %~ GESIS %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-69846-5 %X Sense of coherence (SOC) is thought to be a stress-buffering personality construct. We explored if SOC has a moderating effect on the distress experienced following mortality salience. SOC, mindfulness, neuroticism, and meaning in life were measured as potential moderators. Participants reported on death anxiety and completed a worldview defense task. Results indicated that all potential moderators were correlated with death anxiety, but not with worldview defense. Yet despite a large sample no main effect for the mortality salience induction could be found. Results highlight the importance of various personality variables on death anxiety. %C USA %G en %9 journal article %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
