Attitude toward death, not religious commitment mediates the relationship between political ideology and attitudes toward life extension
Abstract
Previous research has linked political ideology – right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation – with more positive attitudes toward life extension. The purpose of this study was to investigate death attitudes and religious commitment as mediators of the relationship between political ideology and attitudes toward life extension. College students (N = 406) completed an online survey. One death attitude – neutral acceptance – and not religious commitment mediated the relationship between political ideology and attitudes toward life extension. Individuals with more intolerant political ideology may see death as aberrant and thus be more likely to embrace life extension technology.

Individuals who score high on neutral acceptance have more negative views on life extension.
“Individuals who score high on neutral acceptance also have more negative views on life extension (i.e., attempts to extend life and fight dying through whatever means available, a concept which overlaps with the aforementioned maladaptive attempts to extend life found in many anxiety-related disorders) [53].”

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.
