Abstract
The present study examined the relationship between awe-induction and awe emotion, perception of vastness, accommodation motivation, and time perception, and whether this relationship is moderated by trait absorption. Previous research found effects of awe-induction on outcome variables, but did not find a moderation effect of absorption on the relationship between awe-induction and outcome variables. Results remain unreliable due to insufficient awe-induction and sample size. Therefore, the current study uses stronger awe-induction methods and larger sample sizes when testing the hypothesis that absorption will moderate the relation between awe-induction and outcome variables, so that people higher in absorption will demonstrate stronger effects of awe-induction on awe emotion, perception of vastness, and accommodation motivation, and weaker effect of awe-induction on alterations in time perception. Canadian undergraduate students (N = 293) watched an awe or control video, after which they filled out questionnaires concerning outcome variables and absorption. Using t-tests and regression analyses, we found that awe-induction is related to the outcome variables and that absorption does not moderate these relationships. Future research should therefore consider intensifying awe-induction, using other moderating factors, and increasing sample size.
