Description

This Routledge book provides a comprehensive psychosocial examination of idol worship within Chinese societies, distinguishing it from Western celebrity culture through rigorous academic analysis. The work explores how idol worship is understood across Chinese culture, history, and philosophy, revealing fundamental differences from dominant Western perspectives. Using an innovative hexagonal model, the book systematically examines how demographic factors, personal dispositions, and individual differences shape idol worship behaviour. It analyses the cognitive and social functions that idols serve in followers' lives, offering insights into psychological mechanisms underlying this cultural phenomenon. The study culminates in a contemporary Chinese perspective on idol worship, addressing emotional dimensions and interpersonal dynamics relevant to modern society.
