These nostalgia studies ignored the anxiety buffering role of longing for “indirectly experienced” past Which was described as historical or simulated nostalgia (Batcho, 1998; Holbrook, 1993; Stern, 1992). For closing this gap, this study aimed to observe the associations of simulated and personal nostalgia activation with death anxiety.
