Abstract
This study experimentally manipulated mortality salience in IPV victims and nonvictims using vignettes to assess changes in IPV attitudes, anxiety, depression, and hostility. Participants in the high mortality salience condition reported greater hostility and more unfavorable attitudes toward abuse. There were no main effects of victim status.
