进行了一项研究，以评估作为领导风格的一种功能，死亡率突显对政治候选人评价的影响。基于恐怖管理理论和之前的研究，我们假设，人们会对有魅力的政治候选人表现出更高的偏好，而对关系导向型政治候选人的偏好会减少，以回应微妙的死亡提醒。在死亡率显著或控制性归纳之后，190名参与者阅读有魅力、以任务为导向、以关系为导向的州长候选人的竞选声明，评估他们对每个候选人的偏好，并为其中一人投票。结果与预测相符。文中考虑了这些发现的理论和实践意义。
A study was conducted to assess the effects of mortality salience on evaluations of political candidates as a function of leadership style. On the basis of terror management theory and previous research, we hypothesized that people would show increased preference for a charismatic political candidate and decreased preference for a relationship-oriented political candidate in response to subtle reminders of death. Following a mortality-salience or control induction, 190 participants read campaign statements by charismatic, task-oriented, and relationship-oriented gubernatorial candidates; evaluated their preferences for each candidate; and voted for one of them. Results were in accord with predictions. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are considered.
