Mortality salience effects require sufficient delay before defense measurement.

Evidence

Illusory pattern perception (mediator). Next, the illusory pattern perception measure was presented. It was embedded in a randomized block containing two further trait questionnaires, which should ensure a suffi- ciently long delay between manipulation and dependent variable (ingroup defense), as a meta-analysis suggested that the specificity of MS effects may be based on the length of delay between threat induction and subsequent defense (Martens, Burke, Schimel, & Faucher, 2011). — Dmitrij Agroskin and Eva Jonas, Controlling death by defending ingroups, 49

Categorization

• QUESTION: This delay-dependence point bears directly on whether control/threat effects on a hollowed-out ingroup defense would similarly need a timed delay — worth chasing in the MS vs. control-restoration literature.
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Dmitrij Agroskin and Eva Jonas, Controlling death by defending…, 49
