As one important kind of positive emotions, awe has been overlooked by psychologists in the past. In recent years, researchers proposed a prototypical model of awe and have started to investigate the psychological benefits of awe empirically. Awe has been found closely related to time perception, prosocial behaviors, spiritous delight, self-consciousness and information processing. Future research shall focus on clarifying the definition of awe, overcoming negative influence of awe, and cultivating people’s feelings of awe in life, etc.
