Abstract:
It is not yet clear how nostalgia achieves the wide-ranging benefits on wellbeing documented by research. Much of the research favorable to nostalgia has employed experimental and quantitative methods within a laboratory setting. Literature and memoir offer a wider range of content for exploration into the complexity of nostalgia. Literature, memoir, and laboratory research have all illustrated the role of nostalgia in sustaining meaning, identity, and social connectedness. However, initial insights from this appraisal suggest a stronger emphasis in literary forms on the role of nostalgia in resolving conflict and coping with change and loss. Literary forms supplement laboratory efforts by providing a greater diversity of life experience and reflections that can yield more integrative syntheses over time.
摘要:
目前尚不清楚怀旧如何实现研究记录的对福祉的广泛益处。许多有利于怀旧的研究都在实验室环境中采用了实验和定量方法。文学和回忆录为探索怀旧的复杂性提供了更广泛的内容。文学,回忆录,实验室研究都说明了怀旧在维持意义上的作用,身份,和社会联系。然而,从这种评估中得出的初步见解表明,文学形式更加强调怀旧在解决冲突以及应对变化和损失中的作用。文学形式通过提供更多的生活经验和反思来补充实验室的工作,这些经验和反思可以随着时间的推移产生更多的综合综合。
