Older Adults and the Fear of Death: The Protective Function of Generativity
Open accessAbstract
RÉSUMÉ La théorie de la gestion de terreur (TGT) indique que les visions du monde culturel apaisent les inquiétudes au sujet de la mortalité humaine. Des recherches préliminaires avec des personnes âgées ont indiqué que les personnes âgées ne répondent pas aux rappels de la mort de la même manière que leurs plus jeunes homologues. Le but de l’étude était de tester un concept de développement pertinent qui peut fonctionner comme un tampon contre l’anxiété ressenti à la mort à la fin de vie. L’hypothèse est que le concept de générativité d’ Erikson peut comprendre des propriétés niant de la mort pour les personnes âgées. Cent soixante-dix-neuf personnes âgées ont été recrutés pour déterminer si les initiations* subtiles mais saillants de la mortalité conduirait les participants à évaluer leur propre générativité comme étant plus élevé qu’après les initiations flagrantes, ou pas du tout, après contrôle de la générativité avant l’initiation. Comme prévu, les participants exposés à subtile renforcements de la mort se sont considérés comme ayant des niveaux plus élevés de la générativité que les deux autres groupes après générativité covariable avant. Les explications sont discutées à la lumière de la littérature sur la TGT et la générativité.

An early replication failure resulted in a refining of methods wherein MS tasks that are intense, blatant, or rational can impede the desired effects compared to experiential and/or subtle primes.
“For example, an early replication failure noted by Ochsman and colleagues [cited in 27] resulted in a refining of methods wherein MS tasks that are intense, blatant, or rational can impede the desired effects compared to experiential and/or subtle primes [54, 55].”
From Not so terrifying after all? A set of failed replications of the mortality salience effects of Terror Management Theory (2023) · cites this paper as [55]
The Generativity results (page unavailable) report higher generativity after a subtle mortality-salience prime than after a blatant prime or control condition in older adults. The paper does not establish that intense or rational tasks impede effects, compare them with experiential primes, or document the claimed methodological refinement. The early replication failure is separately attributed to citation [27]. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
