his video gives a brief overview of Terror Management Theory (TMT). I discuss it's relation to self-esteem, culture, and relationships. I also cover the death-thought accessibility, mortality-salience, and anxiety-buffer hypotheses as well as different types of defenses such as distal and proximal defenses. Lastly, I cover some ways you can apply TMT to your own life. Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if this content has brought you any value as it helps with the algorithm.
