令人惊讶的是,研究心理学家和应用心理学家都很少关注日常生活中遇到的物质对象,尽管这些对象在人类发展中的意义深远。从视觉艺术、消费者行为、人类学、心理学、艺术治疗和博物馆研究中汲取文献,这是第一篇研究二手物品使用中涉及的心理、社会和美学因素的已知文章。采用定性问卷调查设计,扎根理论分析,来自8个国家的65人。结果确定了一个发现对象的过程中,涉及的相互作用的审美,认知,情感,记忆,生态和创造性的因素,在寻求,发现和利用发现的对象。这对应用心理学家和相关专业人员在医疗保健中使用实物具有潜在的影响。对发现物的使用进行了初步的理论解释,以指导这一领域的进一步研究。
Both research and applied psychologists pay surprisingly little attention to the material objects encountered in day-to-day living, even though the significance of these objects in human development has been profound. Drawing on literature from the visual arts, consumer behavior, anthropology, psychology, art therapy, and museum studies, this is the first known article to examine the psychological, social, and aesthetic factors involved in found and second-hand object use. A survey design employing a qualitative questionnaire, analyzed by grounded theory, was given to 65 people from 8 countries. Results identified a found object process that involves the interaction of aesthetic, cognitive, emotive, mnemonic, ecological, and creative factors in the seeking, discovery, and utilization of found objects. This has potential implications for the use of material objects within health care by applied psychologists and allied professionals. An initial theoretical explanation about the use of found objects is proposed to help guide further research in this area.
