Or perhaps you never let go of your phone—its always in your hand, your pocket, or your bag, ready to be answered or consulted at a moment抯 notice. When your battery life runs down at the end of the day, you feel that yours is running low as well. New research shows that there抯 a psychological reason for such extreme phone dependence: According to the attachment theory, for some of us, our phone serves the same function as the teddy bear we clung to in childhood. 你有过这种经历吗？手机一时放错了地方，忘了在哪，急急忙忙返回寻找；手机从不离身，总是握在手里，揣在兜里或者放在包里，时刻准备回复消息，查找内容。一整天过去了，一旦发现手机没电，简直觉得自己也要没电了。最新研究揭示了极端“手机依赖症”背后的心理动因：根据依恋理论，手机简直成了我们大多数人小时候恋恋不舍的泰迪熊。 Attachment theory proposes that our early life experiences with parents responsible for our well-being, are at the root of our connections to the adults with whom we form close relationships.

Although phones are often castigated for their addictive potential, scientists cite evidence that supports the idea that “healthy, normal adults also report significant emotional attachment to special objects” 手机也可能成为这种“依恋替代品”。尽管手机经常因为致人上瘾而备受诟病，科学家还是援引了相关证据来支持这样一种观点：“身心健康的正常成年人也会对特殊物品产生强烈的情感依恋”。 Indeed, cell phones have become a pervasive feature of our lives: The number of cell phone subscriptions exceeds the total population of the planet.
