摘要
宗教仪式一直是人类社会生活不可或缺的重要组成部分,这主要源于它是一种直观有效的交流方式,它促进了族群内的合作与团结,同时,它又是需要付出高昂代价的信号。“仪式高付出信号理论”预测:宗教组织教义越严格,成员笃信程度越深,组织内部合作的凝聚力就越强,公共有限资源的利用就越合理。
Abstract
The religious ritual is always the indispensable component of human so- cial lives, which mainly derives from its direct and effective communication approach, promoting ethnic inherent cooperation and solidarity, and at the same time, the costly signals. The costly signaling theory of ritual predicts the more demanding the religious te- nets are, the more committed the members are towards the group, the greater the cohe- sive forces are elicited, the more rationally the limited public recourses are utilized.
