Psychological studies show the effect of mortality salience (MS) on attitudes and behavioral patterns in different spheres of social life, particularly, in intergroup relationships. This study examines the influence of MS on attitudes toward national outgroups. In line with terror management theory (TMT), previous studies indicate a contradictory impact of death-related thoughts. Reminders of death enhance unfavorable attitudes toward all national outgroups, however, MS reinforces the negative attitudes only toward unfriendly countries or toward those perceived as threatening. To shed light on the influence of MS, we conducted two experimental studies that were differentiated by MS manipulation and the specifics of the outgroups. In Study 1 we actualized the reminders of death through military news, whereas in Study 2 by the presentation of terrorism news (close and distant). In Study 1 (N = 180) we analyzed the impact of MS on attitudes toward Ukraine, Belarus, and Estonia. The results showed that MS mostly reinforced the unfavorable attitudes toward ‘unfriendly’ and ‘neutral’ countries. Study 2 (N = 242) focused on MS and attitudes toward Ukraine, Belarus, the USA, and China. The results indicated that MS enhanced negative attitudes toward Ukraine as an ‘unfriendly’ country. However, the close or distant terrorism-related content did not illustrate the specific influence on attitudes toward national outgroups.

Personal values are reliable cross-situational predictors of attitudes and behavior. Since the resurgence in research on values following the introduction of Schwartz’s theory of basic values, efforts were focused on identifying universal patterns in value-attitude relations. While some evidence for such universal patterns exists more recent studies point out, there is still considerable variation in ...

In line with the Terror Management Theory, recognition of the inevitability of death induces
the paralyzing fear. To reduce this fear, people use psychological defences. They demonstrate
more positive attitudes towards those who are similar to them, and more negative towards those
who are different. Mortality salience influences on attitudes towards individuals and social
groups. The goal of the ...

В статье обсуждается проблема интерпретации эффектов, получаемых в ходе исследований, выполненных в рамках теории управления страхом смерти. Установлено, что эффекты мыслей о собственной смерти на социальное познание могут объясняться не защитными механизмами, как предполагают авторы теории, а более операционализируемой и понятной эмпирически когнитивной нагрузкой. Рассматриваются результаты исследований, косвенно поддерживающих выдвигаемое предположение. ...
