Death in the curriculum: A terror management theory assessment of emotions and mortality reminders in post-secondary interdisciplinary environmental education courses
Interdisciplinary Environmental Education (IEE) provides post-secondary students with the knowledge, awareness, skills, and motivation for environmental stewardship. Educators are responsible for building students’ action competence to engage in environmental/climate challenges and apply those skills to solve ecological problems. However, Terror Management Theory researchers have shown that mortality awareness – including awareness triggered by c…
From awe to action? An interdisciplinary, systematic review of awe's potential influence on pro‐environmental behaviour
Addressing climate change requires a massive shift towards pro‐environmental behaviour. These behaviours help protect the environment, drive conservation activities, support environment policies and increase sustainability across many avenues and sectors. To facilitate this shift, practitioners and scholars must look beyond rationality‐driven motivations to the emotional drivers that shift individuals' worldviews over the longer term. Of many pos…
Dead in the water: Mortality messaging in water crisis communication and implications for pro‐environmental outcomes
All nature relies on water, yet climate change threatens water availability to the highest degree—from too much (e.g. extreme weather; flooding) to too little (e.g. droughts; wildfires). These water shifts threaten all life on earth. Societies' safe and reliable water accessibility faces growing uncertainty from climate change; however, water crisis communication may inadvertently remind audiences of their mortality. According to terror managemen…
Mortality management and climate action: A review and reference for using Terror Management Theory methods in interdisciplinary environmental research
Global climate change awareness is increasing, but efforts to convey information can trigger undesirable behaviors , including denial, skepticism, and increased resource consumption. It is therefore essential to more fully investigate social–psychological responses to climate information and messaging if we are to prompt, support, and sustain pro‐environmental behaviors. Yet consideration of these responses is typically absent from interdisciplin…
Terror Management Theory and Urban Water Decisions: Does Mortality Salience Influence Outdoor Residential Water Consumption
Terror Management Theory and mortality awareness: A missing link in climate response studies
Adaptation and mitigation efforts are hampered by multiple obstacles and thus lag behind climate changes' speed and scope. Some of the most powerful obstacles to climate action are the social‐psychological factors that influence human thought, preferences, and behaviors. These factors, including those articulated by environmental psychology generally, and Terror Management Theory (TMT) specifically, are neglected within climate response research.…

A Social Innovation Framework for Water Demand Management Policy: Practitioners' Capabilities, Capacity, Collaboration, and Commitment
Water demand management (WDM) is reconceptualized within a social innovation framework. This social innovation framework encourages new opportunities and investigations about the social capital necessary for successful WDM. Influential elements include the knowledge held by WDM practitioners and the social networks in which they are embedded. These two elements have been neglected in conventional WDM policy and research. A reconceptualization of …
Carotenodermia in men with elevated carotenoid intake from foods and beta-carotene supplements
We evaluated the relation between plasma levels of carotenoids and carotenodermia in 30 men receiving carotenoid supplementation for 42 d. Five subjects each were randomly assigned to one of six treatment groups: 30 mg purified beta-carotene supplement, 12 mg beta-carotene supplement, 272 g cooked carrots, 300 g cooked broccoli, 180 g tomato juice, and placebo. Definite carotenodermia was observed only in the five subjects who took 30 mg of purif…
