By 1970, he had understood these phenomena as emotional-interactional rhythms and part of fundamental biological rhythmic dynamics.

Eugene D'Aquili's work in Biogenetic Structuralism also referenced Chapple's work.<ref>D'aquili et al ''The Spectrum of Ritual'' (1979)</ref> In 2000 he received the Conrad Arensberg Award (awarded for outstanding contributions to the field) from the American Anthropological Association.<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://www.aaanet.org/sections/saw/?page_id=60 |title=Awards |journal=Society for the Anthropology of Work |publisher=Aaanet.org |date= |accessdate=2013-06-04}}</ref>
