Participants who took more awe walks experienced greater emotional gains than those who took fewer awe walks. We computed change scores for daily prosocial positive emotions by subtracting participants’ average daily prosocial positive emotions on the first day of the study from their average levels on each day they took an awe walk. Each awe walk resulted in a small increase in participants’ daily experience of prosocial positive emotions (compared to their self-reported experience on the first day of the study). This suggested there was a dose-like relationship between awe walks and prosocial positive emotions experienced on a day-to-day basis, outside of the walk context.
