a terror management theory of social behavior the psychological functions of self esteem and Cultural worldviews
Advances in Experimental Social Psychology, 1991Co-Authors: Sheldon Solomon, Jeff Greenberg, Tom PyszczynskiAbstract:Publisher Summary This chapter deals with terror management theory that attempts to contribute to the understanding of social behavior by focusing on the essential being and circumstance of the human animal. The theory posits that all human motives are ultimately derived from a biologically based instinct for self-preservation. Relative equanimity in the face of these existential realities is possible through the creation and maintenance of culture, which serves to minimize the terror by providing a shared symbolic context that imbues the universe with order, meaning, stability, and permanence. The theory provides a theoretical link between superficially unrelated substantive areas, and focuses on one particular motive that makes it distinctly human and, unfortunately, distinctly destructive. Theories serve a variety of equally important functions, all of which are oriented towards improving the ability to think about and understand the subject matter of discipline. The chapter discusses the dual-component Cultural Anxiety buffer: worldview and self-esteem, the development and functioning of the Cultural Anxiety buffer for the individual, and a terror management analysis of social behavior in great detail.

Cultural trauma and recovery
International and Cultural Psychology, 2018Co-Authors: Michael B. SalzmanAbstract:This psycho-existential framework considers the relationships among Cultural factors, the terror inherent in the human condition, and self-esteem. If culture serves as a psychological defense against the terror inherent in the human condition, then the effects of a traumatic disruption of a Cultural Anxiety buffer would open the individual or community with unmediated “existential terror and Anxiety.” Anxiety is part of the human condition and responses to this aversive state vary from the courageous to the destructive. The Cultural Anxiety buffer requires that the individual or community have faith in the Cultural or religious worldview and to see himself or herself as meeting its standards. So by maintaining faith in the Cultural worldview and living up to its standards the individual is able to avoid the confrontation with the Anxiety and “terror” inherent in the human condition that results from our awareness of our inability to live and continue existence. What happens when the Cultural worldview is shattered or weakened? What happens when the individual maintains faith in the Cultural worldview but is blocked from achieving its standards by racism, sexism or colonization?

Cultural trauma and recovery: Cultural meaning, self-esteem and the reconstruction of the Cultural Anxiety buffer
2004Co-Authors: Michael B. Salzman, Michael J. HalloranAbstract:Introduction There is compelling evidence from a broad range of indicators to demonstrate that the indigenous peoples of the world experience a state of living and health that is well below acceptable standards. In most cases where this situation exists, the cause is attributed to the impact of colonisation and its ongoing effects (e.g., Blaisdell, 1996; Ober, Peeters, Archer & Kelly, 2000). Although such a view is clearly justified, the complexity and prevalence of psychological and well-being problems suffered by indigenous people today requires deeper analysis. Consistent with the existential perspective taken in this book, we suggest that colonization brought about deep suffering for indigenous people due to the subsequent destruction of their culture, a vital source of existential meaning. In this chapter, we consider the human need for meaning in the context of the consequences of the traumatic disruption of culture and the resultant breakdown of systems of meaning and value for human beings. The experiences of Cultural disruption of three groups of genetically distinct and geographically dispersed indigenous peoples will be examined from the existential framework provided by Terror Management Theory and research (Becker, 1971; Greenberg, Solomon & Pyszczynski, 1997). More specifically, we will use a Terror Management Theory (TMT) analysis to help

Splinters: Cross-Dressing Ex-Servicemen on the Interwar Stage.
20 century British history, 2018Co-Authors: Jacob BloomfieldAbstract:This article will examine how a series of theatrical shows which starred casts of cross-dressing ex-servicemen achieved critical and commercial popularity in interwar Britain despite increased Cultural anxieties about the links between gender variance and transgressive acts, behaviours, and categories of identity. Prior to this study, historians have researched wartime concert parties where servicemen cross-dressed for each other's entertainment, but scant attention has been given to the popular phenomenon of ex-servicemen who performed cross-dressing revues for the general public. Staging revues on the home front exposed cross-dressing ex-servicemen to new forms of spectatorship: the theatregoing public, arts criticism in the press, and state censorship. This article will analyse these dynamics for the first time through an investigation of the First World War troupe Les Rouges et Noirs, who popularized the subgenre of veterans' cross-dressing revues with their debut production Splinters (1918). Critics commended the company's contribution to the war effort while also lauding the troupe for their entertainment value and 'bewitching' feminine mimicry. Some observers, like the Lord Chamberlain, found Les Rouges' cross-dressing troubling, but these views were in the minority and did not seriously hinder the performers' success. When carried out temporarily in a performative setting by artists who presented a skilful and beguiling representation of femininity, and whose status as ex-servicemen helped to dispel suspicions of immorality, cross-dressing could be a source of great pleasure, even as it constituted a source of Cultural Anxiety in other contexts.
