Summary
This study explores whether experiencing awe—through a nature picture puzzle—can increase adults' willingness to engage in prosocial preventive behaviors like vaccination, mask-wearing, and social distancing. Researchers will recruit 456 adults from Hong Kong, Singapore, and ten major Chinese cities. Participants will complete an online game designed to induce awe, then report their intentions to adopt these behaviors. The goal is to understand if awe can be a tool to promote public health during infectious disease outbreaks.
