Abstract

Background: Using tangible objects to alleviate distress contradicts the traditional masculinity that is stereotypically attributed to Italian men. This study tested whether the willingness to use a photograph of a romantic partner as a substitute for that person and as a cue for nostalgia in the situation of unavoidable separation depends on gender and conformity to the traditional masculine norms of Italian adults.

Participants and procedure: The study involved 119 Italian adults. Participants were randomly assigned to the separation or the connection condition. Next, they described the willingness to use a photograph of their partner as a substitute and as a cue for nostalgia; then we measured men's differences in their conformity to masculine norms.

Results: We did not find support for the hypotheses that gender or traditional masculine norms impede using inanimate objects to regulate emotions.

Conclusions: It is worth considering photographs as reminders of social bonds that are accessible for both men and women.

“真正的男人”也需要纪念品:意大利男人和女人都用无生命的东西来应对分离

背景:使用有形物品来缓解痛苦与意大利男性的传统男子气概相矛盾。这项研究测试了在不可避免的分离情况下，是否愿意用恋人的照片来代替那个人，作为怀旧的暗示，这取决于性别和对意大利成年人传统男性规范的遵从。参与者和程序:该研究涉及119名意大利成年人。参与者被随机分配到分离或连接条件。接下来，他们描述了用伴侣的照片作为替代品和怀旧暗示的意愿;然后我们测量了男性在遵从男性规范方面的差异。结果:我们没有发现支持性别或传统男性规范阻碍使用无生命物体调节情绪的假设。结论:值得考虑的是，照片作为社会纽带的提醒，对男性和女性都适用。

期刊介绍： The central purpose of Continental Philosophy Review is to foster a living dialogue within the international community on philosophical issues of mutual interest. It seeks to elicit, discussions of fundamental philosophical problems and original approaches to them. Broadly encompassing in its focus, the journal invites essays on both expressly theoretical topics and topics dealing with practical problems that extend to the wider domain of socio-political life. It encourages explorations in the domains of art, morality, science and religion as they relate to specific philosophical concerns. Although not an advocate of any one trend or school in philosophy, the journal is especially committed to keeping abreast of developments within phenomenology and contemporary continental philosophy and is interested in investigations that probe possible points of intersection between the continental European and the Anglo-American traditions. Continental Philosophy Review contains review articles of recent, original works in philosophy. It provides considerable space for such reviews, allowing critics to develop their comments and assessments at some length.
