1.2. The Indirect Roles of Self-Concept Clarity and Small Self
1.3. The Hypothesized Model
2. Research Design and Method
2.1. Participants
2.2. Measures

2.2.3. Self-Concept Clarity
2.2.4. Small Self
2.3. Statistical Analyses
3. Results
3.1. Common Method Biases Test
3.2. Descriptive Statistics and Correlation Analysis
3.3. Direct and Indirect Effects Test
4. Discussion
4.1. The Effect of Dispostional Awe on Self-Worth Is Positive
4.2. The Indirect Effect of Small Self and Self-Concept Clarity Are Suppressing
4.3. Implications and Limitations in This Study
5. Conclusions
- Dispositional awe was positively correlated with society-oriented self-worth and person-oriented self-worth.
- Dispositional awe was positively correlated with the small self and self-concept clarity, but the small self and self-concept clarity were negatively correlated with society-oriented self-worth and person-oriented self worth. The indirect effects of small self and self-concept clarity and the chain indirect effect were explained as suppressive effects.
