Хороший вопрос: Нужна ли младенцу отдельная комната

What will you be wearing when you open the door to the courier with the package at 9 am on Saturday? If you are expecting a doctor, will you change your pajamas over your home trousers? If you plan on spending time all alone, will you be wearing a worn-out, stained T-shirt or something else? What, it would seem, is the difference to us, psychologists, in what you will be dressed at home: if only it is clean and without holes. But there is a difference!

It turns out that what women and men walk at home is also important. I’ll tell you a story about a funny experiment (Hajo, Galinsky, 2012). The researchers took white lab coats, and one group of subjects was told that they were medical coats, and the other group that they were artists’ clothing. Then they asked me to put on robes and perform various tasks. And got the following results.

  • Women and men who thought they were wearing doctor’s uniforms showed noticeably more attention to assignments than other subjects.
  • Those who performed tasks in clothes for artists did not demonstrate any special attention, or even an increased creative component, nothing.
  • Attention is noticeably increased only if the robe is worn on the person. If the robe is hanging in a closet nearby, it “does not work.”

Therefore, it was not only your grandmother who said that in decent shape nado even walk at home, suddenly someone unexpectedly comes. Psychologists have proven that by putting on clothes with a special symbolic meaning, you may well enhance the “effect” of the quality you need. The clothes you wear will “work” for you personally and influence those around you.

So what is is it better to walk at home? If we recall the experiment with gowns again, it becomes clear that it is not the clothes themselves, as such, that affect the value that we attach to them. For example, pajamas are associated with laziness, idleness, and illness, so you’re unlikely to feel a rush of activity and the urge to do a spring cleaning as long as you sit on the couch in your pajamas.

Put on and take off your clothes mentally
Clothes can represent a certain social role for you, which you need to enter or, conversely, go out. In my practice, there was such a case: a client, a deputy chief physician, complained that at home she could not in any way switch from Marya Alexandrovna to just Masha. She constantly received calls from the department with urgent questions that she had to solve even on weekends and in the evenings. This method helped her a lot: when leaving work, imagine how she completely takes off her costume as a deputy chief physician (as well as her social role), and puts on a suit ordinary womanas soon as it crosses the hospital barrier. If she received a call from the department, she temporarily sketched the costume in her imagination, solved problems, and immediately got rid of this role.
