Knowledge structure and boundary expansion of awe research
With the development of social modernity,the process of individualization is accelerating.Under such a realistic background,the establishment of social community becomes more and more urgent.Awe,as a kind of social moral emotion,is a mixture of"respect"and"fear".It has a powerful transformative energy,which will not only affect the shaping of individual personality,but also affect the formation of social unity and the maintenance of social order.In the background of Confucian culture,the elicitor of awe is mainly a kind of"human-oriented awe"which is generated in interpersonal interaction.In experi-ence,awe can be divided into positive awe and threat awe,while threat awe based on fear often brings more negative effects.The development of self-concept is considered to be the main psychological mecha-nism for awe to exert its prosocial effects,such as self-transcendence,which is an expansion of self-boundary.In addition to paying attention to the negative effects of awe,the future study of awe should al-so actively expand the research boundary of psychology and include the dimensions of historical culture and social structure into the research domains.
