AB  - BACKGROUND: The positive role of dispositional awe has been seen in personality 
      and in health. However, its impact on self-worth and internal mechanisms have 
      been unclear. PURPOSES: This study explored the relationship between 
      dispositional awe and self-worth and the roles of self-concept clarity and the 
      small self in this association. METHODS: With a cluster sampling, a 
      cross-sectional sample of 1888 Chinese undergraduates were recruited from Fuzhou, 
      a southeast coastal city in the P.R.C. All the data were analyzed with Pearson's 
      correlations and the structural equation model (SEM) based on SPSS 25.0 and Mplus 
      8.1. RESULTS: Dispositional awe was positively correlated with both 
      personal-oriented and social-oriented self-worth (r(s) = 0.12, 0.27) and was also 
      positively correlated with small self (r = 0.33) but negatively correlated with 
      self-concept clarity (r = -0.18); in the full model, the direct effect of 
      dispositional awe on society-oriented self-worth was 0.36 (75%); the indirect 
      effects of small self and self-concept clarity were -0.09 (18.8%) and -0.01 
      (2.1%), respectively; and the chain indirect effect was -0.02 (4.2%). Similarly, 
      the direct effect of dispositional awe on person-oriented self-worth was 0.50 
      (83.3%); the indirect effects of small self and self-concept clarity were -0.07 
      (11.7%) and -0.01 (1.7%), respectively; and the chain indirect effect was -0.02 
      (3.3%); all the indirect effects were suppressing effects, for they were contrary 
      to the direct effects. CONCLUSION: This study suggested that dispositional awe 
      could help people better understand themselves and enhance their sense of 
      self-worth.
