Awe boosts psychological resilience to COVID-19 stressors regardless of religion

Dispositional awe is linked to resilience in the face of COVID-19 stressors, regardless of religiosity, according to a study published in Psychological Reports. The study found that individuals who experience more awe tend to exhibit greater resilience to COVID-19. Religiosity and awe were also positively related, but religiosity and resilience were only weakly related. The researchers suggest that actively seeking experiences of awe, such as going for a walk in nature or watching a documentary about the cosmos, may be a healthier and more effective coping mechanism than behavioral and mental disengagement.
