The terrorist attacks of 9/11 have made the whole world |
|
unsafe. Through Terror |
|
Management Theory (TMT), scholars have tried to make |
|
sense of this phenomenon |
|
in the context of media and how they are affecting or |
|
giving rise to prejudiced attitudes, |
|
especially against Pakistanis. In this paper three |
|
studies have been conducted to test |
|
the effects of news on terrorism on prejudice again |
|
outgroups. According to TMT, |
|
terrorism news may increase prejudice again outgroups |
|
when it confronts viewers with |
|
their own mortality. In Study 1, we manipulated news on |
|
terrorism and included the |
|
murder of filmmaker Van Gogh a real-world factor in the |
|
design and tested whether |
|
death-related thoughts mediated or moderated the effects |
|
of terrorism news on |
|
prejudice . Study 2 extended these findings by testing |
|
whether the effects on death related thoughts and |
|
prejudice are mitigated by self-esteem. Finally, Study 3 |
|
tested the |
|
effects of terrorism news on prejudice against outgroups |
|
among Pakistani and non Pakistani respondents. |
