மேற்படி ஆய்வு Psychological Science இன் இணையத்தில் வெளியிடப்பட்டுள்ளது. மொரிஸியசில் நிகழ்த்திய ஆய்வில் முடிவுகளை இப்படிச் சொல்கின்றனர் அவர்கள்:
- The study of 86 males in Mauritius found both observers and performers of the Kavadi were more charitable than those who only participated in the collective prayers.
சமயச் சடங்குகளின் போது தம்மைத் துன்புறுத்திக் கொள்பவர்களிடை ஏற்படும் பச்சாதாப விழிப்புணர்ச்சி(Empathetic arousal) அவர்களை நல்லவர்களாக்குகிறதாம். அவர்கள் சமூகத்துடன் இறுகப் பிணைப்படைந்தவர்களாகிறார்கள்.
“Another psychological pathway in which such extreme rituals may influence prosocial behaviour is described by various attribution theories,” he added. “For example, it is well established that paying a high price to enter a group makes people value their membership more, which might cause participants in such rituals to bond with the community and behave in more prosocial ways.”
Though eurocentric Westerners might view religious festivals that involve self-harm as primitive or barbaric, such extreme rituals are by no means limited to the Eastern world.
“There are many high-ordeal rituals in Western societies, both religious and secular,” Xygalatas told PsyPost. “For example, fire-walking rituals are performed in Greece by the communities of the Anastenaria (I’ve written a book called The Burning Saints on these rituals), as well as in Spain. Fire-walking rituals are also performed in the U.S. and elsewhere by New Age groups or are organized by companies (for a steep fee) as self-empowerment or corporate team-building techniques.”
