What are the consequences of lay beliefs about how things are made? In this article, we describe a Western folk theory of artifact creation, highlighting how intuitive dualism regarding mental and physical labor (i.e., folk psychology) can lead to the perceived transmission of properties from makers to material artifacts (i.e., folk physics), and affect people's interactions with material artifacts. We show how this folk theory structures the conceptual domain of material artifacts by differentiating the contemporary lay concepts of art/craft and industrial production, and how it influences people's evaluations of different types of artifacts and their makers. We propose that the folk theory and lay concepts of art/craft and industrial production are best understood within a specific sociohistorical context, and review potential sources of cross-cultural and cross-temporal variation. We conclude by making recommendations for future research and examining the implications for promoting environmental sustainability and social justice in production systems.

人工制品创造的民间理论：关于人类劳动的直觉如何影响人工制品的价值。

关于如何制造的外行信念有什么后果？在本文中，我们描述了西方关于人工制品创造的民间理论，强调了关于精神和体力劳动的直观二元论（即民间心理学）如何导致从制造者到物质人工制品（即民间物理学）的感知的传递，以及影响人们与物质制品的互动。我们将展示这种民间理论如何通过区分当代艺术品/手工艺品和工业生产概念来构造物质人工制品的概念领域，以及它如何影响人们对不同类型人工制品及其制造者的评价。我们建议在特定的社会历史背景下最好地理解民间理论以及艺术/手工艺与工业生产的外行概念，并审查跨文化和跨时间变异的潜在来源。最后，我们为将来的研究提出了建议，并研究了在生产系统中促进环境可持续性和社会正义的意义。
