Description: We performed two experiments aimed at both directly replicating some aspects of the typical "mortality salience" phenomenon, and to provide conceptual replications and extensions of the mechanisms of the phenomenon. In Experiment 1 (N = 101 Norwegian lab participants) we attempted to replicate the traditional MS effect on national patriotism, with additional novel measures of democratic values and pro-sociality. In Experiment 2 (N = 784 American online participants) we aimed to replicate the MS effect on national patriotism in a larger sample, with ingroup identification and pro-sociality as additional outcome measures.
