怀旧解脱幻想破灭的心灵
Nostalgia relieves the disillusioned mind
【摘要】当生活经历强烈不可信的积极假设或深深的帮助信念时,就会出现幻灭。在这种情况下,人们会感到迷失、困惑并与社会环境脱节。最终,幻灭的个人努力维持意义并生活在一种关注存在的状态。然而,过去可以作为意义和社会联系的避难所提供安慰。事实上,怀旧反思是生活中普遍引用的意义来源。因此,我们在三个实验研究中,调查了幻灭的人们是否可以依靠怀旧的遐想来增强或重建对意义的减弱的感知。在第一个研究中,我们证实实验诱导的幻灭会降低对意义的感知。在第二个研究中,诱导性幻灭导致人们在记忆回忆任务中检索怀旧事件,而随后的怀旧情绪抑制了幻灭对生活意义的影响。最后,在第三个研究中,在衡量意义之前,我们操纵了幻灭和怀旧。只有没有进行怀旧反思的幻灭参与者才会遭受意义丧失。这些结果为怀旧作为意义资源假说提供了一致的证据,并进一步支持了怀旧的公认心理益处。我们的发现揭示了我们这个时代的一个共同故事;幻灭的民众可以在过去的喜爱和荣耀的思想中补充和重申意义。

[Abstract]
Disillusionment arises when life experiences strongly discredited
positive assumptions or deeply help beliefs. Under these conditions,
people feel lost, confused, and disconnected from their social
environments. Ultimately, disillusioned individuals struggle to maintain
meaning and inhabit a state of existential concern. However, the past
can provide solace as a refuge of meaning and social connection. Indeed,
nostalgic reflection is a commonly cited source of meaning in life.
Accordingly, we investigated if disillusioned people could rely on
nostalgic reverie to bolster, or reestablish, diminished perceptions of
meaning, in three experiments. In Study 1, we confirmed that
experimentally induced disillusionment lowers perceptions of meaning. In
Study 2, induced disillusionment caused people to retrieve nostalgic
events in a memory recall task, and feelings of nostalgia subsequently
suppressed the effect of disillusionment on meaning inline. Finally, in
Study 3, we manipulated both disillusionment and nostalgia,before
measuring meaningfulness. Only disillusioned participants who did not
engage in nostalgic reflection suffered meaning-loss. These results
provide convergent evidence for the nostalgia-as-meaning resource
hypothesis and further support the well-established psychological
benefits of nostalgia. Our findings delineate a common story of our
time; disillusioned citizens can replenish and reaffirm meaning in
thoughts of past fondness and glory.
