In recent years, with the acceleration of social development and the deepening of higher education, university students have faced increasingly fierce competition, and academic pressure and anxiety have also increased. This study employed two research methods to investigate the alleviating effect of awe on academic anxiety among undergraduates and the mediating mechanism of future time insight in the relationship between the two. Study 1 conducted a survey with 208 undergraduates using questionnaire methods, revealing that trait awe significantly negatively predicted academic anxiety, with future time

perspective serving as a mediating variable. Study 2 manipulated 159 undergraduates' state awe through situational manipulation and found that state awe could also significantly reduce academic anxiety levels, with future time perspective again playing a mediating role. The research results revealed the mechanism by which awe alleviates academic anxiety among college students, providing a reference for intervening in college students' academic anxiety. restructuring in academic stress management.
