520 |a Forgiveness has often been associated with religiosity, and a few terror management theory studies have suggested a link between existential anxiety and religiosity. In the present study, 123 Midwestern University undergraduates were reminded of their mortality and then asked to give their judgment of forgiveness in 10 different hypothetical scenarios. Individuals higher on intrinsic religiosity exhibited more forgiveness when reminded of their mortality than when they were not. This effect of mortality salience was not evident among those lower on intrinsic religiosity. These results extend the generality of a previous finding regarding forgiveness and existential anxiety and demonstrate forgiveness as a religious value for the intrinsically religious Christian. They also replicate findings that mortality salience can, in some circumstances, lead to an increase in prosocial behavior and attitudes
