Dopamine(多巴胺),known as the "source(来源)of pleasure",is a chemical that is given off in the brain and provides people with a feeling of reward. Now,China's young people are trying to wear that joyfulness on their bodies,giving rise to "dopamine dressing style". Mainly characterized by bright colours,this dressing style is described by many Chinese people as "healing(治愈的)".
Dopamine dressing is nothing new. In fact,a study published in 2012 found that when people were asked to wear clothes that held some symbolic(象征性的)meaning,they felt that their confidence increased. The study shows that clothing can have a direct influence on their psychological(心理的)process.
"When we are confident,we can be influenced through our confidence alone," behavioral psychologist Carolyn Mair explained. "When we feel good,we are likely to look good too,as our behaviour and voice will be more positive(积极的)."
Another 2015 study found that the clothes we wear can directly influence how we think. It suggested that dressing in a certain way can influence the way we make decisions. "What we wear is how we show ourselves to those we communicate with — we are influenced by their reaction to it. If we are well received,our confidence grows and can finally influence our general health and happiness," Mair added.
In fact,dopamine dressing is different for everyone. It's about wearing the clothes that make you feel good. It could be joggers and a sports shirt;it could be your favourite pair of jeans;or it could be that dress you were saving for a special event. For some,bright colours are what lift their mood.
Colour psychologist Karen Haller said,"Colour is a great way to lift our spirits and our moods in an instant(一瞬间). Our confidence can grow when we wear colours that we love and feel good in. We naturally feel and behave differently around colours because of how we take the colours in through our eyes and through the part of our brain."
All in all,dopamine dressing is whatever makes you feel good. The most important thing is to have fun with it.
