Attachment to objects

The present work on attachment to objects is part of our work as a psychotherapist at the "TELEMA" mental health center, located in the commune of Matete, Kinshasa (DR Congo). The subject follows several meetings with people suffering from depression because of the loss of one of their important objects. This research focuses on the role of cognitive and affective factors in the attachment of the psyche to material or virtual objects.It is based on the quantitative method, mainly the survey by questionnaire taking six dimensions of objects, namely: collective knowledge objects, individual knowledge objects, collective familiar objects, individual familiar objects, collective memory objects and individual memory objects. This tool allows us to collect data from 637 Congolese adults.
