Deliver us from Evil: The Effects of Mortality Salience and Reminders of 9/11 on Support for President George W. Bush
Open accessAbstract
According to terror management theory, heightened concerns about mortality should intensify the appeal of charismatic leaders. To assess this idea, we investigated how thoughts about death and the 9/11 terrorist attacks influence Americans’ attitudes toward current U.S. President George W. Bush. Study 1 found that reminding people of their own mortality (mortality salience) increased support for Bush and his counterterrorism policies. Study 2 demonstrated that subliminal exposure to 9/11-related stimuli brought death-related thoughts closer to consciousness. Study 3 showed that reminders of both mortality and 9/11 increased support for Bush. In Study 4, mortality salience led participants to become more favorable toward Bush and voting for him in the upcoming election but less favorable toward Presidential candidate John Kerry and voting for him. Discussion focused on the role of terror management processes in allegiance to charismatic leaders and political decision making.
Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
Across four experiments, reminders of mortality and of 9/11 increased Americans’ support for President George W. Bush and his counterterrorism policies. The findings are framed as evidence that terror management processes shape allegiance to charismatic leaders and political decision making.
Key findings
- Study 1: mortality salience (MS) increased support for Bush versus a television control prime, \(M = 4.16\), \(SE = .145\) vs. \(M = 2.09\), \(SE = .131\), \(F(1, 93) = 112.48\), \(p < .001\), \(\eta^2 = .55\); effects were not mediated by affect.
- Study 2: subliminal 9/11-related primes increased death-thought accessibility relative to a control prime: 911 \(M = 2.07\), \(SD = .80\); WTC \(M = 1.80\), \(SD = 1.15\); control 573 \(M = 1.25\), \(SD = .86\); planned contrast \(t(43) = 2.34\), \(p < .03\), with a marginal overall ANOVA, \(F(2, 43) = 3.03\), \(p < .06\), \(\eta^2 = .12\).
- Study 3: MS and 9/11 salience both increased support for Bush compared with an exam-salience control, \(F(2, 71) = 43.12\), \(p < .001\); 2-versus-1 contrast \(t(72) = 9.31\), \(p < .001\), \(\eta^2 = .55\); priming did not alter political orientation, \(F < 1\).
- Study 4: MS versus intense-pain control increased Bush evaluations and decreased John Kerry evaluations, interaction \(F(1, 149) = 64.00\), \(p < .001\), \(\eta^2 = .30\); Bush evaluations increased under MS, \(t(76) = 7.87\), \(p < .001\), Kerry evaluations declined, \(t(77) = 3.34\), \(p = .001\), and Bush was evaluated more positively than Kerry when mortality was salient, \(t(78) = 3.69\), \(p < .001\); voting-decision item effects were also significant, all \(p\)s < .001.
Methods
- Four experiments with undergraduate samples: Study 1 had 97 Rutgers students in October 2003; Study 2 had 52 University of Missouri–Columbia students, with 46 analyzed, about 1 month after 9/11; Study 3 had 74 Rutgers students in February 2004; Study 4 had 157 Brooklyn College students on May 13, 2004.
- Participants were randomly assigned to mortality-salience, 9/11-salience, or control primes (television, exam, or intense pain), then completed measures of support for Bush, death-thought accessibility, political orientation, and/or evaluations of Bush versus Kerry.
- Main analyses used ANOVA, planned contrasts, ANCOVA, and regression; affect was measured with PANAS-X and tested as a possible mediator.
Limitations
- The paper states that the null findings on political orientation must be interpreted with caution and could reflect insensitivity of the one-item, face-valid measure; it also states that more research with a broader sampling of political orientations is needed for the unexpected political-orientation interaction in Study 3.
- The paper notes that Bush is a multidimensional stimulus, making it difficult to determine precisely which attributes—presidential status, charismatic style, or security/military advocacy—drive the effects.
- Evident from the text: all studies rely on undergraduate convenience samples rather than nationally representative samples; Study 2’s overall ANOVA was only marginal; and Study 1’s PANAS-X included only 32 of 60 items due to an error.

“TMT begins with the assumption that humans share with all animals a fundamental orientation toward continued survival, along with many of the same biological and psychological systems designed for self-preservation.”
The authors state this as an assumption.

“that we posit to underlie the effect of reminders of the 9/11 attacks on Americans' approval of President Bush and his policies.”
The paper relies on this without support.
911 and WTC are widely associated with the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
“Both 911 (referring to the date) and WTC (World Trade Center) were chosen as the terrorism primes due to their widespread association with the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.”
The paper relies on this without support.
Issues of national security are a substantial component of the Bush administration's campaign strategy.
“Because issues of national security are a substantial component of the Bush administration's campaign strategy, we then explored the psychological impact of reminders of 9/11.”
The paper relies on this without support.
The one-item political orientation measure is face valid.
“These null findings regarding political orientation must, of course, be interpreted with caution and could reflect insensitivity of the one-item, albeit face valid, measure.”

If MS spontaneously activated cognitions associated with 9/11 and terrorism, those cognitions would appear in open-ended responses about death.
“applying this alternative to the MS effects observed in Studies 1, 3, and 4 requires positing that MS spontaneously activated cognitions associated with 9/11 and terrorism.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
