Denying Death cover

This volume is the first to showcase the interdisciplinary nature of Terror Management Theory, providing a detailed overview of how rich and diverse the field has become since the late 1980s, and where it is going in the future. It offers perspectives from psychology, political science, communication, health, sociology, business, marketing and cultural studies, among others, and in the process reveals how our existential ponderings permeate our behavior in almost every area of our lives. It will interest a wide range of upper-level students and researchers who want an overview of past and current TMT research and how it may be applied to their own research interests.

Denying Death: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Terror Management Theory is an important addition to the burgeoning theoretical and empirical literature derived from terror management theory. This volume contains cutting-edge work by talented scholars and researchers from a wide range of academic disciplines, demonstrating how terror management theory can be productively employed to delineate a host of social and psychological phenomena, as well as how amenable it is to both quantitative and qualitative research. A must-read for undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty interested in the existential underpinnings of human behavior.

Sheldon Solomon, Professor of Psychology, Skidmore College

Terror management theory has generated over 500 studies across many fields. Although no book could cover it all, this timely volume provides excellent coverage of terror management research on topics such as communication, criminal justice, gender, health, marketing, and politics.
