dc.description.abstract | Terror Management Theory (TMT) suggests that when individuals are confronted with mortality salience, a
variety of behaviors, social attitudes and cognitions are affected. In situations of human vulnerability, an
individual’s cultural worldviews can be used as a buffer against anxiety. According to TMT, if one’s values
are shared with the majority, one can manage terror and anxiety. As a result, mortality salience can influence
behaviors that are not related to the problem of death, including interpersonal group evaluations, in-group
bias, stereotyping, and conformity to personal and cultural standards. | en |
