There are behaviors which increase the risk of women to get cervical cancer. Some women are so scared that they do not participate in preventive screening programs. This behavior is found in women notwithstanding their level of education. Women who do participate in preventive screening programs experience fear. Their self-esteem and world view defense are able to buffer this fear except when the fear is significantly high. The Terror management theory fails to provide and solid explanation for the latter phenomenon.
