从恐怖管理健康模型（TMHM）的角度来看，对健康行为是否可能有效保护一个人的健康的期望（即，反应效力）以及个体是否对他或她的健康风险评估的结果持乐观态度（即，当死亡的想法是有意识的并且健康风险域是潜在致命的时，健康乐观主义）应该对健康决策具有更有力的影响。支持这一点，健康乐观主义和反应效能被发现温和的皮肤癌预防的意图，有意识的，但不是无意识的，死亡的提醒，而这种关系并没有发现在与不确定性相关的启动思想的背景下。此外，在非致命性牙科护理结果中未观察到这些影响。讨论的重点是TMHM现有的健康模式和健康促进的影响。
From the perspective of the terror management health model (TMHM), expectancies as to whether a health behavior is likely to effectively protect one's health (i.e., response efficacy) and whether an individual is optimistic about the outcomes of his or her health risk assessment (i.e., health optimism) should have a more potent influence on health decisions when thoughts of death are conscious and the health risk domain is potentially fatal. Supporting this, health optimism and response efficacy were found to moderate skin cancer prevention intentions in response to conscious, but not nonconscious, reminders of death,whereas this same relationship was not found in the context of priming thoughts associated with uncertainty. Moreover, these effects were not observed in response to nonfatal dental care outcomes. Discussion focuses on the implications of TMHM for existing health models and health promotion.
