"Mommy and I are one" is a phrase that is claimed to be an effective subliminal message to aid in self motivation to some Freudian psychologists. The theory is this fulfills an Oedipus complex (as would similar vocabulary about defeating father). The efficacy of complicated subliminal messages such as this is much disputed, however. ==Theory== The use of this phrase is propounded in a paper by Lloyd Silverman and Joel Weinberger in 1985, entitled "MOMMY AND I ARE ONE: Implications for psychotherapy", published in the ''American Psychologist''. According to Silverman and Weinberger, this phrase works because "there are powerful unconscious wishes for a state of oneness with `the good mother of early childhood' ... and gratification of these wishes can enhance adaptation." Silverman and Weinberger say that: * Neutral subliminal messages, such as "people are walking," have no effect on subjects. * Disturbing messages, such as "Destroy Mother," have a negative effect. * In areas where the usual term for mother is something different, such as "Mama" rather than "Mommy," the phrase "Mommy and I are one" has no effect. Two meta-analyses published in 1990 (one by Hardaway in Psychological Bulletin and another by Weinberger and Hardaway in Clinical Psychology Review) also supported the use of the phrase. A related work claimed that in a game of darts, the phrase "BEATING DAD IS OK" improved scores via its "subliminal activation of Oedipal fantasies." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mommy and I are one」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
