By following these systems, people tend to create a sense of meaning and purpose in their lives\u2019 and even achieve a sense of longevity and even immortality.&nbsp; Research has shown that reminders of death increase people\u2019s interest in and need for close relationships, and individuals with a secure attachment style are more likely to successfully use their relationships to defend themselves from concerns about death.&nbsp; This study looks at one unique type of relationship: peer relationships.&nbsp; The purpose of this study is to examine how peer relationships can function to protect people from concerns about death and how attachment style impacts this relationship.&nbsp; To investigate this, participants will be recruited from CSUCI Psychology courses through the SONA system and will be awarded course credit or extra credit for participation.&nbsp; Participants will complete an online survey using Qualtrics.&nbsp; We will measure participants\u2019 attachment style, and randomly assign them to a reminder of death, or a control topic, and also to write about a close peer relationship, or an acquaintance.&nbsp; We will then measure participants\u2019 death thought accessibility (DTA), their unconscious thoughts about death, using a word completion task.&nbsp; Participants completed partially formed words that could be completed with a death related or neutral word, for example, the word fragment beginning with DE_ _ can be completed as either DEED or DEAD.&nbsp; Participants with higher DTA are more likely to complete more words with death related words.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Presentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Session 3 \u2013 4:30p.m. \u2013 5:45p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Room C \u2013 Sierra 2411<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yvonne Gaytan, Tori Wolf, Isabella Valdez, Adrian Corona and Dr. Melissa Soenke\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,26,29],"tags":[8],"class_list":["post-376","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","category-oral","category-room-c","category-session-3","tag-psychology","post"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=376"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/376\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":595,"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/376\/revisions\/595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
