Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Two experiments examined the relationship between Terror Management Theory and Social Dominance Theory in predicting group prejudice. Substantial research has shown that increasing peopleâ??s awareness of their own mortality (mortality salience) increases prejudice and discrimination against those who violate oneâ??s cultural worldview. Another body of research has shown that social dominance orientation is a robust predictor of group prejudice. Experiment 1 tested whether Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) moderates mortality salience effects on prejudice. Participants who were pre-tested on SDO were randomly assigned to a mortality salience or no-treatment control condition. SDO moderated the effects of mortality salience on attitudes toward social groups that were either marginalized (e.g. Blacks, Latinos) or perceived as non-American (e.g., Arabs, Illegal Immigrants). Participants who scored low on the SDO pre-test showed significantly less favorable attitudes toward these groups in the mortality salience condition as compared to the control group, whereas participants who scored high on SDO showed no significant difference between conditions.The second experiment tested whether different ways of inducing transcendence following mortality salience could reduce prejudice. Following measures of SDO and the mortality salience task, participants were randomly assigned to write an essay either on their future legacy (personal transcendence), future transportation (transportation transcendence), or directions to the post office (control). SDO moderated the effects of the different transcendence manipulations: future orientation reduced prejudice among those low on SDO and personal transcendence reduced prejudice among high SDO participants. Implications for the psychology of meaning and prejudice are discussed.
