Question

During the Kavadi ritual in the nation of Mauritius, participants engage in either low-ordeal rituals or severe-ordeal rituals, before being asked to donate to their temple. The low-ordeal participants must pray and sing collectively while the severe-ordeal participants are pierced with needles and hooks and must endure pain. When researchers allowed participants to donate to their temple, they found __________.

Answer 1

Differences in donations between low-ordeal and high-ordial groups

Step-by-step explanation:

When researchers allowed participants to donate to their temple, they found that the difference in donations regarding the low-ordeal group and the high-ordeal group in which performers and observers are combined was important; with regard to high-ordeal performers and observers such a difference was not that meaningful. In conclusion such results suggest that there was a strong linkage between the high-ordeal ritual and larger levels of generosity when performers and observers were involved than in the low-ordeal ritual.
