Sheldon Solomon, one of the big names behind terror management theory, was the one who conducted the WTC study. He also did a related experiment in the same study where he made people think about their own deaths and found they were more likely to vote Bush afterwards. I think there’s a description at the same link. Good catch.
That’s unfortunate. I was hoping for more than one clique, but it looks like my half-remembered study “Evidence for terror management theory, part II” (annoyingly not free) is by roughly the same group of people as the WTC study you cited.
