Collective effervescence is assigned a key role in sociological theorizing on ritual and group processes, yet surprisingly little research has systematically measured the phenomenon and examined its sources. In addressing this research gap, the current article explores and compares several correlates of collective effervescence. The data included questionnaires and geospatial records of spatial setting and movement patterns recorded at a large music festival. Multilevel regression modeling was applied, and the strength of the estimated evidence was assessed with frequentist and Bayesian approaches. Results suggest that collective effervescence is a highly spatially clustered phenomenon that, in particular, is associated with the social-morphological feature of being in a crowd of people. The article discusses the implications of these results for sociological Durkheim scholarship as well as for festival-event studies.

探索集体起泡的来源：多层次研究

在仪式和群体过程的社会学理论中，集体起泡被赋予了关键作用，但是令人惊讶的是，很少有研究能够系统地测量这种现象并检查其来源。为了解决这一研究空白，本文探讨并比较了集体泡腾的几种相关性。数据包括在大型音乐节上记录的空间设置和运动方式的问卷和地理空间记录。应用了多级回归建模，并​​使用常识和贝叶斯方法评估了估计证据的强度。结果表明，集体泡腾是一种高度空间聚集的现象，特别是与人群中的社会形态特征有关。
