摘要: 世间万物都要经历一个开始、发展、消亡的过程。近三四十年来，心理学家们对人类死亡心理进行了大量的探讨。在对死亡心理问题的探讨中，恐惧管理理论(Terror Management Theory，简称TMT)成为了最具有影响力的理论之一。本文通过梳理近几年的文献，首先，概述了TMT的起源和核心观点。其次，介绍了TMT中应对死亡焦虑的三种防御机制。最后，针对TMT的三种心理防御机制中存在的问题，对未来该理论的发展进行了展望。
Abstract: Everything in the world has to go through a process of beginning, development and extinction. In the past thirty or forty years, psychologists have discussed a lot about the psychology of human death. In the discussion of the psychological problem of death, the terror management theory (TMT) has become one of the most influential theories. This paper combs through the literature in recent years, first of all, outlines the origin and core views of TMT. Secondly, it introduces three defense mechanisms of TMT in dealing with death anxiety. Finally, aiming at the problems existing in the three psychological defense mechanisms of TMT, the future development of the theory is prospected.
