An increasing number of studies have unveiled the nuanced nature awe - a complex emotion stemming from stimuli so perceptually and conceptually vast to impact individuals' current mental frames. Its positive on human wellbeing health been reported even after single short exposure awe-inspiring stimuli. Recently, Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as suitable technique for eliciting brief moments intense awe. Moreover, nowadays, Metaverse increased opportunity access experiences, such awe,...
Virtual nature exposure has emerged as an effective method for promoting pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors, also due to the increased emotional connection with itself. However, role played by complex emotions elicited virtual nature, such awe, needs be fully elucidated. Awe is emotion stemming from vast stimuli, including reality (VR) medium elicit it. One hundred nineteen participants were exposed either one of four VR environments: (a) awe-inspiring (b) a non-natural scenario, (c)...
Introduction Awe is a complex emotion unveiling positive and mixed nature, which resembles the Romantic feeling of Sublime. It has increasingly become object scientific investigation in last twenty years. However, its underlying brain mechanisms are still unclear. To fully capture nature lab, researchers have relied on virtual reality (VR) as an emotion-elicitation method, can resemble even phenomena limited space. In this work, multidisciplinary team proposed novel experimental protocol...
Abstract Background Virtual Reality (VR) has already emerged as an effective instrument for simulating realistic interactions, across various domains. In the field of User Experience (UX), VR been used to create prototypes real-world products. Here, question is what extent users’ experience a virtual prototype can be equivalent that its real counterpart (the product). This issue particularly concerns perceptual, cognitive and affective dimensions experiences. Methods exploratory study aims...
Abstract Over the last two decades, awe has attracted attention of an increasing number researchers. The use virtual reality been identified as one most effective techniques for eliciting awe, in addition to more personalized methods inducing emotion, such autobiographical recall. However, previous measures were unable uncover hidden structure this experience. Awe experience scale (AWE-S) validated a comprehensive measure contingent English, providing new opportunities analysis. In...

The considerable connection between religiosity/spirituality and positivity in life general has been widely demonstrated. However, preliminary evidence shown that when also a cognitive component is included, the direction of this relationship seems to emerge more clearly. Specifically, differential pathways linking specific positive self-transcendent (ST) experiences still an open issue. In study, we explored ST spirituality religiosity, via basic beliefs. results obtained were partially...
This scientific research represents a novel investigation into the neural underpinnings of complex awe emotion, made possible with an innovative experimental setup that integrates nature-based Virtual Reality scenarios (nVRs) concurrent recording electroencephalography (EEG) signals. The noninvasive EEG technique enables to capture brain electrical activity in real time and therefore holds great promise elucidating dynamics associated emotional experiences. A group 15 healthy volunteers...
