Significant differences and correlationsfor the awareness of insects were found between students and adults, men and women,people who had experienced insect-related events and those who had not. The experienceof an insect-related event most influenced awareness of insects. These results suggest thatincreasing people's interest in insects and utilizing insects in treatment situations may bebeneficial for the field of mental healthcare
