“…Awe is a unique and powerful emotion (Keltner and Haidt, 2003; Piff et al, 2015) that comprises three properties: (1) it conveys perceptual vastness – that is, the perception that something is immense in size, quantity, scope, complexity, ability, or social bearing (e.g., fame, authority) (Keltner and Haidt, 2003; Piff et al, 2015); (2) it conveys a need for accommodation – that is, the expansion of one’s general reference frame and the formation of a new cognitive structure in response to stimuli beyond one’s existing understanding of the world (Keltner and Haidt, 2003; Piff et al, 2015); and (3) it entails a thirst for innovation – that is, the increasing desire to explore new knowledge and experiences owing to frustration and loss of control when existing knowledge and psychological structure are challenged (Keltner and Haidt, 2003; Piff et al, 2015; Rudd et al, 2018). The sense of time abundance created by focusing on the present also increases people’s motivation to experience innovation (Keltner and Haidt, 2003; Rudd et al, 2012, 2018; Piff et al, 2015). Previous studies have shown that these specific functions of awe have significant effects on individual behaviors, such as an increasing willingness to help others, to donate, to participate in collective behavior, and to adopt pro-environment attitudes (Keltner and Haidt, 2003; Piff et al, 2015; Prade and Saroglou, 2016; Bai et al, 2017; Stellar et al, 2017; Jiang et al, 2018; Zhao et al, 2018).…”
