Based on the predictions of terror management theory, I devised an experimental manipulation to determine whether thoughts of losing a job would affect the accessibility of death-related thoughts and defense of a cultural worldview. I also tested three possible moderators of the proposed relationship: coworker entitativity, intrinsic religiousness, and personal need for structure. One hundred fifty-one full-time workers were recruited for a quasi-experimental survey study. Participants were randomly assigned to read about and imagine a scenario in which they either were laid off from their current job or stayed home to watch television, then completed word fragments to test death thought accessibility and rated pro- and anti-American essays to assess worldview defense. Among the full sample, thinking about losing one's job did not increase death thought accessibility nor worldview defense. Further exploration did reveal significant increases in worldview defense among women and people who had been laid off from a job before. Thinking about losing a job did not increase the accessibility of death-related thoughts in any analyses. The implications of these findings on theory and practice are discussed.
