Fairness-related decision-making often involves a conflict between egoistic and prosocial motives. Previous research based on Terror Management Theory (TMT) indicates that mortality salience can promote both selfish and prosocial behaviors, leaving its effect on fairness-related decision-making uncertain. This study integrates TMT with the strength model of self-control to investigate the effects of mortality salience on fairness-related decision-making and to examine the moderating role of dispositional self-control.

The prevalent belief that individuals with Huntington's disease exhibit selfish behaviour, disregarding the thoughts, feelings and actions of others, has been challenged by patient organizations and clinical experts. To further investigate this issue and study whether participants with Huntington's disease can pay attention to others, a joint memory task was carried out in patients with Huntington's disease with and without a partner. This study involved 69 participants at an early stage of Huntington's disease and 56 healthy controls from the UK, France and Germany, who participated in the international Repair-HD multicentre study (NCT03119246).

The basic principle of the theory is that the superior hierarchy of the brain, whose needs are prioritized, results in the primary satisfaction of one's own needs, often to the detriment of the functioning of other organs and systems. The origins of the theory of «selfish brain», according to researchers, lie in the work of neurosurgery pioneer Harvey Cushing, who discovered a reflex named after him and consisting in increasing arterial pressure at high intracranial pressure.
