awe the small self and prosocial behavior
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2015Co-Authors: Paul K Piff, Pia Dietze, Matthew Feinberg, Daniel M Stancato, Dacher KeltnerAbstract:Awe is an Emotional response to perceptually vast stimuli that transcend current frames of reference. Guided by conceptual analyses of awe as a Collective Emotion, across 5 studies (N = 2,078) we tested the hypothesis that awe can result in a diminishment of the individual self and its concerns, and increase prosocial behavior. In a representative national sample (Study 1), dispositional tendencies to experience awe predicted greater generosity in an economic game above and beyond other prosocial Emotions (e.g., compassion). In follow-up experiments, inductions of awe (relative to various control states) increased ethical decision-making (Study 2), generosity (Study 3), and prosocial values (Study 4). Finally, a naturalistic induction of awe in which participants stood in a grove of towering trees enhanced prosocial helping behavior and decreased entitlement compared to participants in a control condition (Study 5). Mediational data demonstrate that the effects of awe on prosociality are explained, in part, by feelings of a small self. These findings indicate that awe may help situate individuals within broader social contexts and enhance Collective concern.

Acknowledging the benefits of immigration in France : The positive impact of Collective gratitude in the relation between French natives and immigrants
2018Co-Authors: Rambaud StéphanieAbstract:La littérature montre clairement le rôle des émotions Collectives (i.e., répondant à des évènements impliquant le groupe d'appartenance) sur les relations intergroupes. Les études existantes ont majoritairement examiné les effets bénéfiques des émotions morales négatives (e.g., culpabilité ; Wohl & Branscombe, 2005) ou des émotions suscitées par des événements négatifs (e.g., sympathie ; Iyer. Leach, & Crosby, 2003), sur les relations intergroupes. Dans cette lignée, nous souhaitions examiner l'effet d'une émotion morale et positive : la gratitude, une émotion générée par la perception d'avoir été la cible de la bienveillance d'autrui (McCullough, Kilpatrick, Emmons, & Larson, 2001). Au delà de ses bénéfices intra-individuels, la gratitude favorise les tendances pro-sociales, renforce les relations (Bartlett & DeSteno, 2006) et diminue l'usage des stéréotypes (Jackson, Lewandowski, Fleury, & Chin, 2001). Si les bénéfices de cette émotion ont été largement examinés dans un contexte interpersonnel (Bartlett & DeSteno, 2006), aucune étude, à notre connaissance, ne s'est intéressée à son impact en tant qu'émotion Collective au niveau des rapports intergroupes. Ce travail de thèse a ainsi pour objectif d'identifier les conditions d'apparition de la gratitude Collective et les effets de celle-ci sur la perception et les attitudes à l'égard des immigrés. Nous prédisions que (a) la saillance des contributions positives de l'immigration susciterait de la gratitude Collective chez les membres de l'endogroupe. En retour, (b) la gratitude Collective engendrerait moins de préjugés et plus de comportements positifs envers les immigrés. A cette fin, nous avons mené deux études corrélationnelles (une transversale et une longitudinale) et six études expérimentales, impliquant un total de 1913 participants. Dans ces dernières, les émotions étaient induites en manipulant plusieurs méthodes distinctes : lecture de textes, visionnage de supports vidéo, rappel d'événements historiques. Les résultats montrent que la connaissance des contributions des immigrés s'accompagne de niveaux plus élevés de gratitude Collective envers les immigrés, comparée à une condition contrôle ou une autre émotion positive (e.g., joie). En retour, le ressenti de gratitude Collective est associé à une réduction des préjugés, une augmentation des attitudes positives envers les immigrés et une plus forte perception de coopération entre les groupes, comparativement aux autres conditions. Les résultats mettent également en lumière le rôle modérateur de l'orientation politique sur la propension à ressentir de la gratitude Collective. L'ensemble de nos résultats suggère ainsi que la gratitude Collective a un effet bénéfique dans l'amélioration des relations intergroupes.Scholars have clearly showed the role of Collective Emotions (i.e., responding to events involving the group one belongs to) on intergroup relations. Previous studies have mainly examined the beneficial effects of negative moral Emotions (e.g., guilt ; Wohl & Branscombe, 2005) or Emotions provoked by negative events (e.g., sympathy ; Iyer, Leach, & Crosby, 2003) on intergroup relations. In this vein, we aimed to investigate the influence of a positive and moral Emotion: gratitude, an Emotion that stems from the perception of being the beneficiary of a valued action from others that contributes to one's wellbeing (McCullough, Kilpatrick, Emmons, & Larson, 2001). Beyond its individual benefits, gratitude fosters prosocial behaviors, strengthens interindividual relations (Bartlett & DeSteno, 2006) and decreases stereotype use (Jackson, Lewandowski, Fleury, & Chin, 2001). While the benefits of gratitude have been only examined in an interpersonal context (Bartlett & DeSteno, 2006), to our knowledge, none has investigated its impact as a Collective Emotion on intergroup relations. Thus, this research aims to identify the conditions of emergence of Collective gratitude and its effects on perception and attitudes towards immigrants in France. We predicted that (a) highlighted positive contributions of immigration would elicit Collective gratitude among in-group members. In return, (b) Collective gratitude would lead to lower prejudice and more positive behaviors towards immigrants. To this end, we conducted two correlational studies (one cross-sectional and one longitudinal) and six experimental studies, involving a total of 1913 participants. In the latter, Emotions were induced using several distinct methods: reading texts, viewing video media, recalling historical events. As predicted, results showed that highlighting past or present immigrants' contributions (i.e., Collective gratitude condition) led to higher levels of Collective gratitude towards immigrants compared to control or positive (e.g., joy) conditions. In return, Collective gratitude was associated with lower prejudice, more positive attitude towards immigrants and enhanced perception of cooperation between groups, compared to positive or control conditions. Results also revealed that participants' political orientation moderated feeling of Collective gratitude. Overall, our results suggest that Collective gratitude has a beneficial impact in the improvement of intergroup relations
