ANXIETY AS A FACTOR OF TACTILE DEPRIVATION IN CHILDHOOD
УДК 159.922.7
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate anxiety as a factor in tactile deprivation in childhood. A theoretical analysis of research on tactile deprivation in children and animals has been conducted. On the basis of this theoretical analysis, an experimental psychological study was carried out. The research examines the relationship between tactile deprivation in childhood and anxiety in adulthood among 190 respondents. The results suggest that the level of anxiety may be related to the amount of tactile contact in childhood, where the lack of such contact leads to anxious states and hinders normal sensory and emotional development in children, which in turn negatively impacts mental health.
