Episode 3: The Power of a Made-up Ritual — The Happiness Lab

Why Rituals Work

There are real benefits to rituals, religious or otherwise

www.scientificamerican.com

 

"Malinowski suggested that people are more likely to turn to rituals when they face situations where the outcome is important and uncertain and beyond their control – as when sharks are present."

자기만의 ritual을 유지하는 것은 누군가를 잃은 슬픔뿐만 아니라 일상에서의 사소한 좌절을 다루는 데 도움이 됨. 여기서 ritual이라 함은 만트라를 되뇌는 것처럼 종교적인 것일 수도 있지만 그보다는 일상의 루틴에 가까운 것임. 시험을 보는 날에 늘 빨간색 팬티를 입는다거나(제가 그런다는 건 아니고요..ㅎ) 특정한 시간, 특정한 장소에서 늘 특정한 행위를 하는 것 등등. 글에 나오는 말은 아닌 듯하나, 불확실성의 세계에 사는 인간에게는 통제감을 느끼는 것이 매우 중요한 과제이며 루틴이 이런 통제감에 도움이 됨. 그래서 위에 언급했듯이 어떤 행위의 결과가 매우 중요하고 그 결과를 예측할 수 없으며 그 결과가 자기 통제 능력을 벗어났다고 느낄 때 사람들은 turn to rituals하기 쉽고, 실제로 이렇게 하는 것이 바라는 결과를 야기할 가능성을 높인다고 함.
