Abstract

Death-related thoughts are impossible to avoid. To deal with death anxiety, people might directly cope with the anxiety induced by death-related thoughts by seeking comfort from familiar people or things. Alternatively, they might try to distract themselves from thinking about death. However, it is unclear when and how these two strategies are chosen. Five experiments demonstrate that decision style determines the strategy they use to cope with mortality salience and that these strategies generalize to consumer choice behavior. An affective decision style leads people to cope with death anxiety by avoiding exploratory consumption (e.g., avoiding novelty and variety in consumption decisions) whereas a cognitive decision style makes people try to distract themselves by exploration (e.g., choosing novel and diverse options) in an unrelated consumer choice situation. These effects were observed regardless of whether decision style was measured as an individual difference (experiment 1), activated situationally (experiment 2, 3 and 5) or caused by task-related features (experiment 4). The avoidance of exploratory consumption (reflected in a preference for less novelty or variety) was a manifestation of comfort-seeking whereas a stronger preference for exploratory consumption was the result of a desire to distract oneself from thinking about death.
