Abstract
(type = abstract)
Previous research has shown that mortality salience increases relational strivings, and that thinking about relationship problems increases death-thought accessibility (Mikulincer, Florian, & Hirschberger, 2003). However, no study has examined whether mortality salience increases relational strivings toward troubled close relationship partners. The present study investigated whether mortality salience induces people to expect their troubled relationships to improve (friend, family, or romantic). Although I predicted that mortality salience would motivate securely but not insecurely attached individuals to repair their relationship problems, results showed a different, yet intriguing pattern. Mortality salience increased avoidant participants’ expectations for improvement and future relationship satisfaction. In fact, mortality salience boosted avoidant participants’ expectations for improvement and future relationship satisfaction up to the level of securely attached participants. Mortality salience also increased high self-esteem women’s expectations for improvement and ratings of importance of their troubled relationships. The present study extends previous research, suggesting that troubled close relationships serve a terror management function for different subgroups of individuals than previous research has found for other types of close relationships. Future research is necessary to assess the generalizability of these findings outside the laboratory and among older populations.
