L’awe è un’emozione complessa e, allo stesso tempo, uno stato di coscienza alterato, la quale permette di descrivere la sensazione di meraviglia e paura che si prova davanti a un fenomeno percepito come vasto. L’awe, grazie alle sue funzioni e proprietà, è connessa a molti effetti sul benessere psicologico, tra cui: diminuzione del sé, apertura all'esperienza, incremento dei comportamenti prosociali, dilatazione del tempo, aumento della soddisfazione della vita, decremento del materialismo, diminuzione dello stress e aumento del benessere. L’awe rappresenta un ambito di ricerca potenzialmente innovativo e valido per un utilizzo terapeutico.

Abstract
Awe is a complex emotion and, at the same time, an altered state of consciousness, which allows describing the sensation of wonder and fear experienced when facing a phenomenon perceived as vast. Awe, thanks to its functions and properties, is connected to many effects on psychological well-being, including: decreased self-focus, openness to experience, increased prosocial behaviors, time dilation, increased life satisfaction, decreased materialism, reduced stress and increased well-being. Awe represents a potentially innovative and valid research area for therapeutic use.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
