Regression, on the other hand, is a mental process in which an individual seeks to return to a previous state, particularly a period in their life marked by carefree innocence and security. This nostalgia for childhood creates a sense of refuge, a protective cocoon against the challenges of modern life. In the 1990s, this phenomenon gained momentum in Western countries, giving rise to a new category called &#8220;kidults,&#8221; for whom specific products and services were offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sociologist Robert Ebguy, author of &#8220;La France en culottes courtes&#8221; (France in Children&#8217;s Pants), emphasizes that regression offers an emotional immersion in what he calls the &#8220;transitional space,&#8221; present throughout life. This can manifest itself through childhood objects, childlike behaviors, or music reminiscent of the sweetness of childhood. This phenomenon is not limited to a specific age group but rather concerns the more affluent social classes. According to him, adulthood is losing its appeal; starting a family and the aging process are no longer seen as positive values. We live in a society where appearance takes precedence over everything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, this return to childhood can offer psychological and emotional comfort to those who indulge in it, creating a connection with a more carefree period of their lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories-glossary":[313],"class_list":["post-163914","dictionnaire-dico","type-dictionnaire-dico","status-publish","hentry","categories-glossary-data-analytics-marketing-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dictionnaire-dico\/163914","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dictionnaire-dico"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/dictionnaire-dico"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categories-glossary","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories-glossary?post=163914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
