Abstract

ABSTRACT We examined the relationship between religious rituals and how people perceive moral norms. Prominent anthropological theories propose that rituals charge associated moral norms with objectivity such that moral norms are perceived as absolute and independent of time and space. We used two cross-sectional datasets to test this hypothesis and conducted five correlational studies with three culturally distinct populations. The results, supported by meta-analysis of our effect sizes, show a positive association between attending collective religious rituals and perceiving moral norms as objective. Moreover, increased saliency of the characteristic aspects of ritual form, namely the perceived invariance, and digitalizing and materializing potentials, was associated with increased reporting of moral norms as objective. Overall, this manuscript provides initial support for theories suggesting that ritual behavior helps ground moral norms by affecting perceptual mechanisms related to norm processing.
仪式表演与道德规范客观知觉的正相关
摘要:我们研究了宗教仪式与人们如何感知道德规范之间的关系。著名的人类学理论提出,仪式赋予相关的道德规范以客观性,这样道德规范就被认为是绝对的,独立于时间和空间。我们使用两个横截面数据集来检验这一假设,并对三个文化不同的人群进行了五项相关研究。结果显示,参加集体宗教仪式与将道德规范视为客观存在之间存在正相关,这一结果得到了效应量荟萃分析的支持。此外,仪式形式的特征方面,即感知的不变性、数字化和物质化的潜力,与道德规范作为客观的报告增加有关。总的来说,这篇论文为仪式行为通过影响与规范加工相关的感知机制来帮助建立道德规范的理论提供了初步支持。
