K6vi—FoGARASsy—MIRNICS—MERSDORF—VASS We also compared participants in hill and cave tours to see if there were significant differences between the two groups (see Table 1). Independent sample t-tests showed that hill tour participants had significantly higher scores on the communal dimension (on the total score of love for other people, forgiveness toward others, trust among individuals, respect for others, and kindness during the tour). However, at the subscale level, only trust in others during the tour yielded significant differences between the two groups. On the other hand, there was a tendency towards higher transcendent dimension scores during cave tours. At the subscale level, significantly higher scores were observed on the personal relationship with the Divine/God among cave tour participants during the tour. Table 1.
