The Influence of Awe on Pro-Environmental Behavioral Intention

Abstract

Abstract: The current study aimed to explore the relationship between awe and pro-environmental behavioral intention. The awe was triggered by different priming tasks, such as narrative recall, watching compelling video clips, reading story and recall. And the pro-environmental scales were used to measure pro-environmental behavioral intention. The results showed that, compared with the neutral condition, the participants in the awe induction condition showed more pro-environmental behavioral intention (public-sphere, private-sphere, and total pro-environmental behavioral intention). The findings indicate that awe can lead to greater pro-environmental behavioral intention.

Key words: awe, pro-environmental behavioral intention, public-sphere pro-environmental behavioral intention, private-sphere pro-environmental behavioral intention

摘要： 采用回忆书写、视频和阅读书写范式启动敬畏，考察了敬畏与亲环境行为意向的关系。结果显示，相较于中性控制组，敬畏情绪回忆书写组（实验1）、视频启动组（实验2）和阅读书写组（实验3）的亲环境行为意向更高。结果表明，敬畏有助于促进个体的亲环境行为意向。
