Abstract This study sought to explore the implications for individuals who experienced awe while in the presence of wildlife. A conceptual framework was adapted that integrated the theory of emotional learning with experiential learning theory. In-depth interviews brought into focus the resultant learning stemming from experiences of wildlife-inspired awe. Learning manifested through pro-environmental and prosocial behaviors in which participants’ career choices were affected as well as their advocacy for pro-environmental behaviors within their community of friends and family. In the process of chronicling participants’ stories, we developed a better understanding of the ways in which people make sense of and ultimately learn from experiences of wildlife-inspired awe.

从野生动物的敬畏中学习

摘要 本研究旨在探讨对在野生动物面前敬畏的个人的影响。调整了一个概念框架，将情感学习理论与体验学习理论相结合。深入的访谈使人们关注源于对野生动物的敬畏体验所产生的学习成果。学习通过亲环境和亲社会行为表现出来，其中参与者的职业选择受到影响，以及他们在朋友和家人社区中倡导亲环境行为。在记录参与者故事的过程中，我们更好地理解了人们理解野生动物的敬畏经历并最终从中学习的方式。
