What are the consequences of lay beliefs about how things are made? In this article, we describe a Western folk theory of artifact creation, highlighting how intuitive dualism regarding mental and physical labor (i.e., folk psychology) can lead to the perceived transmission of properties from makers to material artifacts (i.e., folk physics), and affect people's interactions with material artifacts. We show how this folk theory structures the conceptual domain of material artifacts by differentiating the contemporary lay concepts of art/craft and industrial production, and how it influences people's evaluations of different types of artifacts and their makers. We propose that the folk theory and lay concepts of art/craft and industrial production are best understood within a specific sociohistorical context, and review potential sources of cross-cultural and cross-temporal variation. We conclude by making recommendations for future research and examining the implications for promoting environmental sustainability and social justice in production systems.
关于事物是如何产生的，非专业观点会造成哪些后果？在本文中，我们描述了一种西方民间的人工制品创造理论，重点介绍了关于脑力劳动和体力劳动的直观二元论（即民间心理学）如何导致人们认为属性可以从制造者传递到物质人工制品（即民间物理学），并影响人们与物质人工制品的互动。我们展示了这种民间理论如何通过区分当代人工制品的艺术/工艺和工业生产的概念，以及它如何影响人们对不同类型的人工制品及其制造者的评价，来构建物质人工制品的概念领域。我们提出，民间理论以及艺术/工艺和工业生产的概念最好在特定的社会历史背景下理解，并回顾了跨文化和跨时间变化的潜在来源。最后，我们对未来的研究提出了建议，并探讨了在促进生产系统的环境可持续性和社会正义方面的意义。
