Peter Maňo was awarded for his presentation "Socio-Economic Factors Involved in Participation in Extreme Rituals," which he gave at the International Association for the Cognitive Science of Religion conference, Boston in August.
The talk focused on the impact of various demographic and behavioral indicators on the intensity of ritual participation, where social status and participation in collective rituals proved to be the strongest predictors of extreme forms of participation.
