“…As a manipulation check, we used these emotion reports to confirm that participants felt awe while watching the awe-inducing video more so than while watching a neutral video. All participants reported the extent to which they were feeling: "ike, " "ifu" (awe is referred to as "ike" and/or "ifu" in Japan; Muto, 2014), wonder, fear, anxiety, amazement, annoyance, compassion, moved, nervous, respect, sadness, curious, amusement, happiness, and appreciation, measured on a 7-point Likert scale from 1(not at all) to 7(extremely). This measure is widely used to check the validity of awe induction (see Gordon et al, 2017).…”

Awe is an emotional response to vast stimuli needing for accommodation. Although several studies have revealed that awe led to more ethical attitudes toward one's own behavior and to generosity toward people in general, it is unclear whether and how the two types of awe-positive and threatened-influence one's attitude toward others' social norm violations. In the current study, we examined the influence of these types of awe on tolerance toward deviators' behavior by using a pre-post design and a scenario task within the Japanese population. The findings indicated that positive awe increased the tolerance of others' norm violations, while threatening awe did not.

“…Nevertheless, a validation of such an assumption would require further empirical research on Japanese definitions of awe, which is unfortunately very scarce. Fortunately, a notable exception is a series of work by Muto (2014Muto ( , 2016. Muto (2014) compared the meaning of awe-related words with other respect-related emotional words in Japanese.…”

“…Fortunately, a notable exception is a series of work by Muto (2014Muto ( , 2016. Muto (2014) compared the meaning of awe-related words with other respect-related emotional words in Japanese. A multi-dimensional scaling showed that "ifu" and "ikei" are at the negative extreme of the respect-related words, with "ifu" being more negative.…”

“…In a representational space, some affective states were coherently clustered to constitute an emotional category that corresponded to one emotional label (e.g., nostalgia), but other affective states were distributed in a more graded way between two emotional categories/labels (e.g., fear and anxiety; Cowen & Keltner, 2017;Cowen, Laukka, Elfenbein, Liu, & Keltner, 2019). A representation space captured variation of meanings of the same emotion such as happiness, anger, shame, and respect (Boiger, Mesquita, Uchida, & Barrett, 2013;Muto, 2014;Uchida & Kitayama, 2009). The similarity structure was also reflected in neural representation of emotion (Saarimäki et al, 2018(Saarimäki et al, , 2016.…”

“…Indeed, 30 % of contemporary college students did not know the meaning of the word "ifu" and "ikei" (Muto, 2014). Future research should also examine the meaning of awe in Japanese (and other cultural) context in terms of neuro-physiological responses (e.g., Stellar et al, 2015) and action tendency (e.g., Piff et al, 2015) with experimental induction of awe.…”

Meaning of awe in Japanese (con)text: Beyond fear and respect

Awe is theorized as an emotion appraised by perceived vastness and need for accommodation. This theoretical framework was developed with a review of spatially and temporally distributed literature mostly in the American and European cultural context, and is assumed to be culturally universal. However, awe as described by Japanese literature, was not explicitly included in the original theorization. We tested whether this framework generalized to the Japanese context by analyzing how Japanese awe-related words (e.g., “畏敬/ikei”) are used in Japanese text. A topic model was used to extract topics in contexts as an index of meaning. Results show that (1) the meaning of awe was statistically dissociable from similar but distinct meanings of fear and respect, and (2) the dissociating topics included transcendent entities such as god, spirits/ghosts, and powerful beings. Japanese meaning of awe includes vastness (i.e., transcendence) that goes beyond typical respect (i.e., power distance) requiring an accommodation of one’s mental framework.

The experience of awe, an emotional response to vast stimuli overwhelming ones’ current mental structure, has often been measured using a questionnaire method. The purpose of the present study was to develop and validate the Japanese version of the Situational Awe Scale (SAS), which is a useful tool for measuring awe experiences from the perspective of the discriminability between positive- and threat-awe. The present study investigated the factor structure and validity of the Japanese version of the SAS (SAS-J) using awe-inducing video clips, through three online surveys (N = 1034; mean age = 38.74, SD = 10.95, range = 18–75). Results revealed that the SAS-J consisted of the same four factors as the original SAS (i.e., connection, oppression, chills, and diminished self) and had the convergent, criterion, and discriminative validity in measuring both positive- and threat-awe experiences. Additionally, results showed that the SAS-J could distinguish between positive- and threat-awe experiences. These results suggested that the SAS-J could measure both positive- and threat-awe experiences with validity. This study would make a methodological contribution to awe research.
