慰藉物
外观
慰藉物(英:Comfort object)或过渡物,是一种物件,用来提供心理上的慰藉,尤其是在不同寻常的環境裡。儿童在就寝时也常需要它们。对孩童来说,慰藉物可能是一块毛巾(日语:安心毛布),一个填充玩具,等等。[1]
儿童心理发展
[编辑]在儿童教育领域,常使用被称作“过渡性客体”[2](也称“过渡性物体”[3])的事物,常见的如洋娃娃、泰迪熊、毛毯等,这通常可以在一定程度上从心理层面代替母亲与孩子的关系。
成人后使用
[编辑]成人也可能使用慰藉物。在一项2008年的研究中,研究者们发现索尼公司的AIBO机器宠物可以减少养老院里老人们的孤独感。[4]
日本的成人有时用慰藉物来应对现代生活中的压力。[5]
用于心理治疗
[编辑]在西方,有时填充玩具会被装备在消防车或警车上,这样可以为经历事故乃至创伤性休克的受害者提供慰藉。
心理学家正在进行用厚毛毯代替紧身衣的实验。他们发现,有些罹患自闭症的儿童,在接触到慰藉物后,会变得更加平静,不那么激动。[7]
流行文化
[编辑]在查尔斯·舒兹所著的《花生漫画》系列漫画中,安全毯一词被使用并流行开来。奈勒斯·潘贝鲁特把一张毯子叫做“安全与幸福之毯”[8][8]
慰藉物的概念在电视连续剧《老友记》中也被提到。"The One with the Pediatrician"一集中,罗斯提醒钱德勒,他带了一张安全毯到大学里。
