The Relationship Between Awe and Prosocial Behavior in Adolescents:The Sequence Mediating Effect of Small Self and Perspective Taking
Objective:This paper discussed the influence of awe on adolescent prosocial behavior and the mechanism of ego and perspec-tive taking.Methods:A total of 817 students from grade one to grade three were tested using the Youth Awe Questionnaire,Ego Ques-tionnaire,Interpersonal Reactivity Index(viewpoint selection)Scale(IRI-C)and the Chinese version of the Youth Prosocial Behavior Tendency Scale(PTM).Results:Adolescents'awe was significantly correlated with small self,perspective taking,prosocial behavior(emotional,obsequious altruistic,anonymous,public).Awe can positively predict prosocial behavior dimensions(emotional,obsequious altruistic,anonymous,public);the independent intermediary of perspective taking between awe and prosocial behavior is obvious,and the sequential intermediary of small self and perspective taking between awe and prosocial behavior is also obvious.Conclusion:individ-uals with high sense of awe were more likely to perceive their own smallness,turned their eyes to others and the larger group,and were more able to see things from the perspective of others and pay attention to the needs of others,thus producing more prosocial behaviors.
