根据恐怖管理理论，人们转向提供意义的结构，以科普不可避免的死亡的知识。最近的理论和研究表明，怀旧是一种提供意义的资源，因此可能具有这样的存在功能。目前的研究测试和支持这一想法。在实验1和2中，怀旧倾向和操纵死亡率的显着性。在实验1中，当死亡率是突出的，越容易怀旧的参与者，他们越认为生活是有意义的。在实验2中，当死亡率是突出的，更容易怀旧的参与者，死亡的想法是可访问的。在实验3中，怀旧和死亡的显着性被操纵。结果发现，怀旧缓冲的影响，死亡率的显着性对死亡思想的可及性。(c)2006爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
According to terror management theory, people turn to meaning-providing structures to cope with the knowledge of inevitable mortality. Recent theory and research suggest that nostalgia is a meaning-providing resource and thus may serve such an existential function. The current research tests and supports this idea. In Experiments 1 and 2, nostalgia proneness was measured and mortality salience manipulated. In Experiment 1, when mortality was salient, the more prone to nostalgia participants were, the more they perceived life to be meaningful. In Experiment 2, when mortality was salient, the more prone to nostalgia participants were, the less death thoughts were accessible. In Experiment 3, nostalgia and mortality salience were manipulated. It was found that nostalgia buffered the effects of mortality salience on death-thought accessibility. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc.
