Object attachment
Sentimental object attachment is a psychological phenomenon that is theorized to begin early in childhood, wherein children develop an emotional attachment to a certain object as a maternal substitute. While natural maturation and independence should diminish the role these objects play in emotional security, there is a growing body of evidence exploring how and why object attachment may persist into adulthood. Little information is known about the reasons individuals experience sustainment from specific objects, but childhood object attachment is associated with favor for unique individuals, thereby subsequently influencing preferences for authentic objects in adulthood. Individuals can experience strong emotional bonds towards an object, such that if the object is lost, they can experience great emotional distress.
