Sintesi	A terror management experiment tests terror management theory (TMT), which holds that awareness of one's own mortality creates potential anxiety that people manage by defending their cultural worldview and self-esteem. The canonical mortality-salience paradigm (Greenberg et al., 1990) experimentally reminds participants of death and measures increased worldview defense, such as harsher judgments of out-groups and stronger ingroup and political allegiance.	The Right-Wing Authoritarianism Scale (RWA) is a self-report measure developed by Bob Altemeyer in 1981 to assess individual differences in authoritarian attitudes, including submission to established authorities, adherence to conventional norms, and aggression toward those perceived to violate social conventions. The scale measures three core dimensions: authoritarian submission, authoritarian aggression, and conventionalism. It has become a cornerstone of research on authoritarianism, political attitudes, and intergroup prejudice.
