Whereas Norenzayan et al. describe extravagant displays as a reliable means of belief transmission, this commentary reviews three emerging hypotheses about a direct connection between the awe elicited by extravagant displays and prosocial behaviour. If some of these hypotheses are correct, extravagant displays enhanced prosociality even among nonbelievers. Methodological suggestions are made for future experimental research on the awe-prosociality pathway.
虽然 Norenzayan 等人将奢侈展示描述为一种可靠的信仰传播手段，但这篇评论文章回顾了三个关于奢侈展示引起的敬畏感与亲社会行为之间直接联系的新兴假说。如果其中一些假说是正确的，那么奢侈展示甚至可以增强非信徒的亲社会行为。文章还为未来关于敬畏感-亲社会行为途径的实验研究提出了方法学建议。
