AbstractSelf-construal and locus of control may help explain some of the cultural differences in terror management. Two experiments were conducted to investigate the moderating roles of self-construal and the locus of control in the effects of mortality salience (MS) on self-enhancement. We hypothesized a three-way interaction: those who had a higher level of external locus of control would exhibit a lower level of self-enhancement in the MS condition and such effect would be stronger among participants who had a salient independent self-construal. This three-way interaction was found in both studies. In Study 1, an interaction between external locus of control and MS was found among participants residing in Australia but not among those in Hong Kong. In Study 2, a similar interaction was found in the independent self-construal condition among Hong Kong participants; no such interaction was found in the interdependent self-construal group.
