Lawson and McCauley's ritual form hypothesis (RFH) appeals to natural cognition to capture several commonly observed features of religious rituals in one explanatory theory: (1) their repetition in the life of a participant tends to be distributed in bipolar fashion (typically only once in a lifetime or repeatedly, on the order of annually, monthly, weekly, or even daily); (2) their effects may or may not be reversed through other rituals; (3) their range in centrality to a religious tradition (from peripheral to essential); and (4) their range from dull, tedious affairs to evocative, emotional, life‐changing events high in sensory pageantry. In this article, we summarize RFH and then turn to its potential application to material culture. If RFH can partially explain which sorts of religious rituals will be religiously frequent, central, and high in sensory pageantry, then it may also probabilistically predict the sorts of materials used in these rituals.

仪式形式和仪式材料:劳森和麦考利的仪式形式假说对物质文化的启示

劳森(Lawson)和麦考利(McCauley)的仪式形式假说(RFH)吸引自然认知,以一种解释性理论来捕捉宗教仪式的几种通常观察到的特征:(1)他们在参与者生活中的重复倾向于以双极方式分布(通常只有一次重复)一生或一生,按每年,每月,每周,甚至每天的顺序);(2)通过其他仪式可能会或可能不会扭转他们的影响;(3)他们对宗教传统的关注范围(从外围到本质);(4)其范围从乏味,乏味的事务到感官选拔性高的令人回味,情绪激动,改变生活的事件。在本文中,我们总结了RFH,然后将其应用于物质文化的潜在应用。如果RFH可以部分解释哪些宗教仪式在宗教上会很普遍,那么重要,
