Terör Yönetimi Kuramı ve Cesaret: Kavramsal Bir Tartışma
Terror Management Theory and Courage: A Conceptual Discussion

Summary/Abstract: Terror Management Theory, as a social psychological theory, helps us to understand the potential influence that awareness of mortality can have on our sense of self and social behavior. Thus, Terror Management Theory can contribute to an understanding of human behaviors, for security researchers. The purpose of this study is to inform the researchers about Terror Management Theory, who study on security issues and, to make contributions to the theory. For this reason, the fundamental assumptions and proposals of the Terror Management Theory were explained and, criticisims directed against the Terror Management Theory were examined. When the criticisims were analyzed, it was found that the concept of courage has responsive structure to these criticisims. As a result, courage, as a complementary to the theory, can make contributions to improve the theory.
