Reminders of mortality are especially likely to inspire prosocial behavior when:

A) people are high in self-esteem.
B) the fear of death is low.
C) prosocial cultural values have also been primed.
D) people are low in self-awareness.

When reminders of mortality are met with a reinforcement of prosocial cultural values, such as the importance of helping others, individuals are more likely to engage in prosocial behavior. This suggests that the social norms and values surrounding death play a critical role in determining how we respond to our own mortality. High self-esteem, low fear of death, and low self-awareness do not necessarily have a direct impact on the likelihood of engaging in prosocial behavior when confronted with reminders of mortality.
