Individuals adopt attitudes and behaviors that may bolster self-esteem and reinforce worldview to minimize paralyzing anxiety from death cognitions.
“In an attempt to minimize the paralyzing anxiety that arises from death cognitions, individuals adopt attitudes and behaviors that may bolster their self‐esteem and reinforce their worldview, thus giving meaning to their existence, symbolically extending their life into the future, and alleviating immediate feelings of anxiety (Frietze & Cohn, 2018; Greenberg et al., 1997).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
