【摘要】真品是指那些与某个人、事件、时间或地点有历史联系的物品（例如，毕加索的原画、戴安娜王妃穿过的礼服、你最喜欢的婴儿毯）。目前的研究考察了关于真实物体的日常信念，有三个主要目标：确定成年人对真实物体的评价范围，在两种不同的文化背景下检查这种评价，并确定一个人的依恋历史（即，他们小时候是否拥有依恋对象）是否预测对真实物体的评价。我们发现，英国（N=125）和美国（N=119）的大学生一致认为，各种各样的真品比对照品（非真品）更有价值，更值得保存，更值得触摸，尽管只有非个人真品被认为更适合在博物馆展出。这些模式在两种文化背景下非常相似。此外，那些小时候有过依恋对象的人对物品的评价更有利，尤其是对真实物品的评价更有价值。总之，这些结果表明，在受过大学教育的成年人中，“积极传染”得到了广泛的认可。
AbstractAuthentic objects are those that have a historical link to a person, event, time, or place of some significance (e.g., original Picasso painting; gown worn by Princess Diana; your favorite baby blanket). The current study examines everyday beliefs about authentic objects, with three primary goals: to determine the scope of adults' evaluation of authentic objects, to examine such evaluation in two distinct cultural settings, and to determine whether a person's attachment history (i.e., whether or not they owned an attachment object as a child) predicts evaluation of authentic objects. We found that college students in the UK (N=125) and the USA (N=119) consistently evaluate a broad range of authentic items as more valuable than matched control (inauthentic) objects, more desirable to keep, and more desirable to touch, though only non-personal authentic items were judged to be more appropriate for display in a museum. These patterns were remarkably similar across the two cultural contexts. Additionally, those who had an attachment object as a child evaluated objects more favorably, and in particular judged authentic objects to be more valuable. Altogether, these results demonstrate broad endorsement of "positive contagion" among college-educated adults.
