Abstract
The chapter considers how communication theory may relate to and inform our understanding of various terror management processes, particularly as they concern the meaning-making systems people use to face, comprehend, and cope with their everyday world. In addressing a range of domains and situations relevant to communication theory—including interpersonal, relational, organizational, intercultural, and social influence contexts—the chapter focuses on the nature of meaning as it is created both within individuals and cultures. Themes emphasized in terror management theory (TMT) research relevant to how communication processes are motivated and articulated during the common routines of social interaction are explored with suggestions for how TMT may inform and suggest future communication research.
