Mortality salience (MS) is a concept in Terror Management Theory (TMT). Mortality salience refers to a person's awareness that their death is inevitable. Mortality Salience occurs when something reminds a person of their mortality--the fact that their life will end. In response to MS, people use or create anxiety buffers.
