Children attach to objects for many reasons. Early research on object attachment focused primarily on infants and toddlers and their attachment to soft objects as a source of security, but this review reveals that children of all ages attach to a variety of objects and with a variety of motivations. This review also introduces the concept of transitory object attachments, in which children quickly attach to an object but un-attach almost as quickly. Repeated transitory object attachments are manifest as materialism. After a discussion of motivations for object attachment generally, the review focuses on the insecurities of childhood that can foster transitory object attachments and materialism in children.

对象依恋，暂时依恋和童年唯物主义

儿童依附于物体的原因很多。物体附着的早期研究主要集中于婴幼儿及其作为安全来源附着在软物体上，但该综述揭示了各个年龄段的儿童都附着在各种物体上并具有多种动机。这篇评论还介绍了临时对象附件的概念，在这种情况下，孩子们可以快速地附加到对象上，但是却几乎一样快地断开。重复的短暂对象依附表现为唯物主义。在讨论了物体依恋的动机后，本综述主要关注儿童期的不安全感，这种不安全感会促进儿童的短暂物体依恋和唯物主义。
