Talk:Awe

Comment
Seems a pretty clear candidate for a wikipedia page to me, given that there are individuals pages for many many other emotions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thomascochrane (talk • contribs) 12:01, April 6, 2008

Awesome used for different purposes
"Awesome" is often used for nuanced purposes, and I've yet to see it explained somewhere. If you want to appear to be praising someone for their actions (theatre performance, parental advice to the youngsters, speech, America's Got Talent) the word is used. Gee, you were awesome gets to be used and overused to death, and hides the lie.

Romney's acceptance speech was awesome. So will be Obama's. The word covers your subtext, especially if your true response would be decidedly the opposite of approval. Yes, it's a useful word, and also a hypocritical word. But this cannot be put into the article (original research?)

So remember, smile a lot, hand over the flowers, and say "You Were Awesome!" JohnClarknew (talk) 18:37, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

May/Might
Etymology: Might —> may: why the former? ... since “may have” suggests we can’t sure who is would be inspired, or that the impressive arc may have been missed by all, bcz it was 4 am? “Might” in this context suggests ”‘Lan’a don’ ‘llow no sissies”, or that the photo may be a fake, with a lab-created arc and a LEGO model. —JerzyA (talk) 02:29, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

New book on Awe
The newly published book is a valuable reference on this topic. It will be helpful to improve this article based on the findings in that new book. Thanks! Lbeaumont (talk) 23:28, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

The Matryoshka Model of Awe
The Matryoshka Model of Awe is a new analysis of the various properties of awe. It is described in the paper The Potential Role of Awe for Depression: Reassembling the Puzzle, Alice Chirico, Andrea Gaggioli, Frontiers in Psychology, April 26, 2021.
