根据恐惧管理理论,人们有动机保护自己免受因意识到死亡而产生的潜在焦虑。据推测,对后代的日益关注,以及由此产生的象征性不朽,可能对老年人尤其重要,因为他们对死亡的认识增加了。在两项研究中,老年人和年轻人在死亡或对照启动后对生育问题进行了调查。正如假设的那样,老年人的生育关注和对亲社会的偏好大于对亲自我的偏好,而这两种影响在年轻人中都没有观察到。在这两项研究中,只有在死亡率显著性升高时才观察到年龄差异;在控制条件下,老年人和年轻人的生育关注没有差异。研究结果支持了年轻人和老年人对死亡意识增强的反应不同的假设,并表明老年人对死亡提醒的反应更倾向于亲社会的生成取向。
According to terror management theory, people are motivated to protect themselves from the potential for anxiety resulting from awareness of mortality. It was hypothesized that increased concern for future generations, and the symbolic immortality this produces, may be particularly important to older adults when awareness of their mortality is increased. In two studies, older and younger adults' generative concern was examined following mortality or control primes. As hypothesized, older adults' generative concern and preference for pro-social over pro-self generativity were greater following reminders of mortality, whereas neither effect was observed among younger adults. For both studies, age differences were only observed when mortality salience was heightened; older and younger adults' generative concern did not differ in control conditions. Results provide support for the hypothesis that younger and older adults differ in their responses to increased awareness of mortality and suggest that older adults respond to death reminders by adopting a more pro-social generative orientation.
