Excitation Transfer and Religious Ritual: Effects of Arousal on Helping Behaviour

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Religious rituals have been theorized to help produce social solidarity amongst group members, as well as hostility towards out-groups. Recent empirical research has started to examine specific aspects of collective rituals (e.g. synchronous movement) that might be important in modulating attitudes and behaviour towards the in-groups and the out-groups. Many religious rituals involve highly arousing stimuli and literature suggests that arousal can alter (mainly amplify) various emotions. For example, ithas been shown in laboratory settings that at the individual level arousal can produce residual excitement that serves to intensify later emotional states like aggression, sexual attraction or humour appreciation. Recent field studies, concentrating with greater ecological validity on the collective dimension of arousal, show that participants as well as spectators of religious rituals can share arousal to a great extent, and that highly arousing rituals can promote pro-social behaviour
