Ritual Density Coding
Ritual density coding is a method for analyzing religious rituals by coding them on two key dimensions - how often they are performed (frequency) and how emotionally intense or dysphoric they are (arousal) - in order to locate a tradition along Harvey Whitehouse's imagistic-doctrinal continuum. In his 2004 book Modes of Religiosity, Whitehouse argued that rituals tend to cluster at two attractor poles: high-frequency, low-arousal 'doctrinal' practices that build large, hierarchically organized, semantically rich traditions, and rare but emotionally searing 'imagistic' practices that forge small, intensely cohesive communities through vivid episodic memories. The coding scheme operationalizes this theory, testing the predicted inverse relationship between ritual frequency and arousal and linking the resulting modes to distinctive forms of social organization and memory.
