Understanding Terror Management Theory: How Mortality and Death Anxiety Influence Human Behaviour
What if the fear of death were not merely a private existential dread, but the silent architect of almost everything we do — how we form relationships , construct identities, pursue meaning, and respond to people whose beliefs differ from our own?
