Abstract

When individuals are reminded of death, they tend to engage in more positive social support behaviors. Given the negative status of social donation behaviors, this article takes college students in the Wuhan area as samples and, from the perspective of terror management theory, describes and analyzes the positive guiding role of end-of-life care awareness on organ donation among college students. The results show that end-of-life care awareness can effectively awaken college students’ mortality salience significantly enhancing their willingness and consciousness of donation, and promoting them to engage in similar prosocial behaviors. This achievement can provide new ideas for promoting organ donation among the younger generation in society.
