Based on the terror management health model (TMHM), we examined the impact of terrorist attacks as reminders of death on implicit alcohol-related attitudes, including the moderating role of conscious death-related thoughts and alcohol-based self-esteem (ABS). With an online experiment (N = 487), we analyzed how thoughts and memories about a recent terrorist attack unconsciously (with a delay task) and consciously (without a delay task) affected implicit alcohol-related attitudes. We found that such thoughts increased the death-thought accessibility. While no main effect of the salience of the terrorist attack on alcohol-related attitudes existed, respondents with low ABS had more positive attitudes, when unconsciously thinking about the attack as compared to the control group. Respondents with high ABS in the delay task had lower alcohol-IAT scores. Overall, this study provides evidence that thoughts about terrorism that can be provoked through media affect alcohol-related attitudes. Such attitudes may cause negative health consequences through health-related decisions.

基于恐怖管理健康模型 (TMHM)，我们研究了恐怖袭击作为死亡提醒对内隐酒精相关态度的影响，包括有意识的死亡相关思想和酒精自尊 (ABS) 的调节作用。通过在线实验（N = 487），我们分析了关于最近恐怖袭击的想法和记忆如何无意识地（有延迟任务）和有意识地（没有延迟任务）影响隐含的酒精相关态度。我们发现这样的想法增加了死亡想法的可及性。虽然不存在恐怖袭击的显着性对酒精相关态度的主要影响，但与对照组相比，ABS 低的受访者在无意识地考虑袭击时态度更积极。在延迟任务中具有高 ABS 的受访者具有较低的酒精-IAT 分数。总体而言，这项研究提供的证据表明，可以通过媒体激起的有关恐怖主义的想法会影响与酒精相关的态度。这种态度可能会通过与健康相关的决定导致负面的健康后果。
