The little dolls give us the feeling of cuteness, because it is deeply loved by children, these dolls and small children are full of childlike colors, but we will find some horror places in order to increase the atmosphere of terror, some dolls are set there, we do see, there will be a little chill in the back.
Why do some dolls make people fearful? I need to answer it through the psychological uncanny valley theory, the term uncanny valley was proposed in the book "Uncanny Valley Psychology", this idea was published by psychologist Freud in the paper, thus becoming a famous theory.
It is mainly to elaborate: if a robot or a doll, very similar to humans, people have an extreme sense of disgust and terror for it, uncanny valley is a kind of rejection of robots with high degree of similarity with humans, the reason why it is called "valley", because when the robot and human similarity is gradually improved, people will have like it feelings, experience like to dislike, from disgust to like, forming a trough shape.
Why do people have fears of one kind or another?
First, when people interact with people and pay affection, they are usually based on the state of having a self, and when they find that the object of contact with them is not a human being, they will have an adaptation. That is to say, when seeing a species that is very similar to humans, people's first instinct is to think that he is human, but after paying attention and judging, they will find that they are not of the same kind as themselves, and psychology will produce contradictions, and strong psychological conflicts will lead to tension and fear.
Second, people will have fear of strange people and the environment, because these robots or dolls are very similar to people, when the contact time is too long, people will think that a person is in contact with it, unconsciously will have hallucinations, think that a stranger is looking at themselves, and this person is expressionless, which will cause people to be sensitive to psychology, subconsciously will think that the other party is very strange, it will produce fear.
Third, psychologists have shown that when humans see a role with a high degree of similarity to themselves, the area of the brain responsible for understanding people's emotions, that is, psychologicalization, will become sensitive, and it is easy to have an empathetic effect on this role, because the empathic effect is part of the psychologicalization, and when some empathic effects operate normally and some transference effects are inhibited, they will produce terrible emotions.
