Affect and self-regulation under mortality salience

2015
Death is perceived as a severe threat to the self. Although it is certain that everyone has to die, people usually don"t think about the finiteness of their life. Everything reminding of death is ignored, rationalized and death-related thoughts and fears are pushed out of mind (TMT; Pyszczynski et al., 1999).
