We propose that the emotion of awe (i.e., challenge that exceeds the scope of one's mental structures, requiring cognitive accommodation) awakens self-transcendence (i.e., reaching beyond one's self-boundary), which in turn invigorates pursuit of the authentic self (i.e., alignment with one's true self). This process has implications for prosociality. We supported our theoretical model in 14 studies (N = 4,438) using distinct awe manipulations or measures, employing different assessments of authentic-self pursuit, testing participants both in laboratory and field settings, and involving samples from both collectivistic and individualistic cultures. In Studies 1-2 (N = 828), dispositional awe was positively associated with authentic-self pursuit and induced awe motivated authentic-self pursuit. In Studies 2-9 (N = 2,461), dispositional awe was positively associated with, and induced awe strengthened, authentic-self pursuit via self-transcendence. These effects were independent of pride and happiness. In Study 10 (N = 281), self-smallness (i.e., a sense of self as small and insignificant), albeit induced by awe, did not account for the unique effects of awe on authentic-self pursuit via self-transcendence. Finally, in Studies 11-14 (N = 868), awe-induced authentic-self pursuit was linked with higher general prosociality, but lower inauthentic prosociality. The findings invite a reexamination of awe's relation with the self, while highlighting the complexity and intricacy of that relation. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

敬畏通过自我超越激发真实的自我追求:对亲社会性的影响。

我们提出敬畏的情绪(即超越个人心理结构范围的挑战,需要认知调节)唤醒自我超越(即超越自我边界),进而激发对真实自我的追求(即,与真实的自我保持一致)。这个过程对亲社会性有影响。我们在 14 项研究 (N = 4,438) 中支持我们的理论模型,使用不同的敬畏操作或措施,对真实自我追求采用不同的评估,在实验室和现场环境中测试参与者,并涉及来自集体主义和个人主义文化的样本。在研究 1-2 (N = 828) 中,性格敬畏与真实自我追求呈正相关,并且诱发的敬畏激发了真实自我追求。在研究 2-9(N = 2,461)中,性格敬畏与通过自我超越的真实自我追求正相关,并诱发敬畏加强。这些影响与骄傲和幸福无关。在研究 10 (N = 281) 中,自我渺小(即自我渺小和无足轻重的感觉),尽管是由敬畏引起的,但并未解释敬畏通过自我超越对真实自我追求的独特影响。最后,在研究 11-14 (N = 868) 中,敬畏引起的真实自我追求与较高的一般亲社会性有关,但不真实的亲社会性较低。这些发现促使人们重新审视敬畏与自我的关系,同时强调这种关系的复杂性和错综复杂性。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA,保留所有权利)。这些影响与骄傲和幸福无关。在研究 10 (N = 281) 中,自我渺小(即自我渺小和无足轻重的感觉),尽管是由敬畏引起的,但并未解释敬畏通过自我超越对真实自我追求的独特影响。最后,在研究 11-14 (N = 868) 中,敬畏引起的真实自我追求与较高的一般亲社会性有关,但不真实的亲社会性较低。这些发现促使人们重新审视敬畏与自我的关系,同时强调这种关系的复杂性和错综复杂性。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA,保留所有权利)。这些影响与骄傲和幸福无关。在研究 10 (N = 281) 中,自我渺小(即自我渺小和无足轻重的感觉),尽管是由敬畏引起的,但并未解释敬畏通过自我超越对真实自我追求的独特影响。最后,在研究 11-14 (N = 868) 中,敬畏引起的真实自我追求与较高的一般亲社会性有关,但不真实的亲社会性较低。这些发现促使人们重新审视敬畏与自我的关系,同时强调这种关系的复杂性和错综复杂性。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA,保留所有权利)。没有考虑到敬畏通过自我超越对真实自我追求的独特影响。最后,在研究 11-14 (N = 868) 中,敬畏引起的真实自我追求与较高的一般亲社会性有关,但不真实的亲社会性较低。这些发现促使人们重新审视敬畏与自我的关系,同时强调这种关系的复杂性和错综复杂性。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA,保留所有权利)。没有考虑到敬畏通过自我超越对真实自我追求的独特影响。最后,在研究 11-14 (N = 868) 中,敬畏引起的真实自我追求与较高的一般亲社会性有关,但不真实的亲社会性较低。这些发现促使人们重新审视敬畏与自我的关系,同时强调这种关系的复杂性和错综复杂性。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA,保留所有权利)。
