Arrowood and Cathy R. Cox discuss relevant research from an experimental, existential psychology tradition. Outlining the past thirty years of research within terror management, the authors discuss such topics as religion, close relations, politics and law, existential growth, and physical and mental health. Although the inevitable outcome of all humanity is death, according to terror management theory, we adhere to cultural worldviews and establish close relations in order to boost our self-esteem. Through these defences, we deny our death and attain a degree of immortality, staving off existential fear by being part of an enduring cultural system that will outlive any individual member. 410 0$aBrill Research Perspectives. 606 $aFear$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aFear$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a152.46 700 $aArrowood$b Robert B.$01482306 702 $aCox$b Cathy R. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794087803321 996 $aTerror management theory$93699864 997 $aUNINA
