Frequency of Participation in Collective Meetings, Perceived Emotional Synchrony and Emotions of Transcendence in a Sample of Young People from Mexico

Abstract

We examined the relationship between participation in collective gatherings, collective effervescence conceived as perceived emotional synchrony, and the intensity of the experience of three positive emotions of self-transcendence: awe, moral elevation, and feeling moved by love (kama muta), in a cross-sectional study with 372 Mexican adults. The correlations between these variables with each other and with the values and beliefs of transcendence were positive and significant in general. We performed multiple linear regression analyzes and a multiple serial mediation model to predict transcendence emotions, incorporating the predictor variables. We discussed the results and their practical implications and limitations of the study.
