We hypothesize that experiences of awe promote greater humility. Guided by an appraisal-tendency framework of emotion, we propose that when individuals encounter an entity that is vast and challenges their worldview, they feel awe, which leads to self-diminishment and subsequently humility. In support of these claims, awe-prone individuals were rated as more humble by friends (Study 1) and reported greater humility across a 2-week period (Study 2), controlling for other positive emotions. Inducing awe led participants to present a more balanced view of their strengths and weaknesses to others (Study 3) and acknowledge, to a greater degree, the contribution of outside forces in their own personal accomplishments (Study 4), compared with neutral and positive control conditions. Finally, an awe-inducing expansive view elicited greater reported humility than a neutral view (Study 5). We also elucidated the process by which awe leads to humility. Feelings of awe mediated the relationship between appraisals (perceptions of vastness and a challenge to one’s world view) and humility (Study 4), and self-diminishment mediated the relationship between awe and humility (Study 5). Taken together, these results reveal that awe offers one path to greater humility. **Materials** [Study 3 materials][1] (obtained from the first author). **Notes from the author** "I can't think of any additional concerns that you should take into account when running these studies. I would just make sure the awe induction results in somewhat comparable ratings to the awe composite in the original paper. I also cut participants who didn't follow the instructions to write about strengths and weaknesses (this was done before analyzing the data). It included cutting anyone who didn't write about a strength or weakness, they needed to have listed at least one of each. What this actually amounted to was participants who didn't list a weakness being removed. This was because we were unsure if they generally didn't feel they had a weakness or they didn't properly read the instructions. Also nonsensical answers were excluded." **IRB Templates** Sample IRB Protocol Sample Consent Form **Original Paper** The full Stellar, et al.
