Overview

Multimodal study reveals strong effects of awe-inducing content on self-report and physiological responses, suggesting different pathways for emotional processing in participants.

Key Points

  • Awe-inspiring virtual reality content positively influenced self-reported awe levels in participants.
  • Physiological responses showed a significant connection to priming, particularly in sympathetic activation measures.
  • Participants consistently underestimated the duration of experiences, with calm content showing the most accurate time perception.
  • The results indicate that awe involves multiple processing pathways impacting both emotional and physiological responses.
