Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to terror management theory, when individuals are reminded of their own mortality (mortality salience), it increases anxiety and the need to defend against death-related thoughts. This can lead to an increase in prejudice and stereotyping as a way to bolster one's own worldview and sense of self-worth. Therefore, as mortality salience increases, prejudice is likely to increase as well.
