摘要：
This study investigated the role that objects have in helping people adapt to a new environment. Fourteen Chinese postgraduate students were interviewed one semester after their arrival in New York City. The meanings they attached to objects, and how the meanings of objects changed during the students' adaption to their new environment are discussed. The discussion is placed in the context of person-object relationships and it is emphasized that objects can both reflect and actively affect an individual's feelings and emotion. © 1992 Academic Press Ltd.
