File name | Belief In Supernatural Agents |
File Description | Counter intuitive person-like agents that partly exist outside of the ordinary natural world,and transcend death, deception, and illusion, are deeply affecting beliefs that are the cornerstone of religions and pervasive all over the world.One religion-related inclination that mortality salience has been found to spur is belief in an afterlife. Osarchuk and Tatz (1973) found that exposure to a death threat led to more afterlife belief than exposure toa shock threat or control. Recently, the notion of literal immortality has been investigated in empirical terror management research,indicating that it assuages terror of death enough to eliminate the effect of mortality salience on self-esteem concerns and defense of cultural value. |
