Similarly, Ma-Kellams and Blascovich (2011) have shown that in contrast to European-Americans who evaluate the worldview-threatening others (prostitutes in Study 1 and victim of a car accident in Study 2) more negatively in the MS condition, Asian-Americans evaluate the same targets more positively. (2008) have demonstrated that MS can generate some contrasted behavioral reactions, depending on the situational norm: for example, either pro-social (pro-peace or benevolent) behaviors or pro-self (pro-violence, conservative) behaviors could follow a MS induction. Consistent with this notion, Jonas et al. Indeed, TMT posits that people’s reaction to worldview-threatening others would depend on the cultural mandate inscribed in a particular worldview ( Greenberg et al., 1994). In doing so, people may at times go so far as derogating or harming others who pose threats to their cultural worldviews ( Pyszczynski et al., 2004 Burke et al., 2010, for meta-analysis).ĭespite accumulating evidence, however, not all studies conducted across cultures have consistently shown that MS leads people to derogate worldview-threatening others.

the distal defenses) for example, by emphatically defending one’s cultural worldviews ( Greenberg et al., 1994). The unconscious concern for death is in turn addressed in more indirect and symbolic manners, by embedding oneself in meaningful cultural constructions (i.e.

Yet, as the issue of death is essentially non-addressable, unconscious concerns for death may continue, making the thoughts of death highly accessible―the state known as high mortality salience (i.e. the proximal defenses see Arndt et al., 2003 Routledge et al., 2004). When the notion of mortality is brought to the focus of attention, people quickly suppress the thought of death or deny its immediate relevance to the self and push the issue of death to distant future (i.e. This can take a few hours or sometimes 1-2 days.Interdependent self-construal, mortality salience, rVLPFC activity, self-control Introductionįear of death is universal to most societies, and according to terror management theory (TMT Greenberg et al., 1997) it is managed by two distinct defensive systems one that deals with conscious thoughts of death and the other that defend people from unconscious thoughts of death ( Pyszczynski et al., 1999).
