Examination of Hugging Shape that gives a Sense of Security

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the shape and size of the hugging type that provides security. The four models were compared by the subject in a sitting position. The hugging time for each model was 2 minutes. While hugging, subjects were evaluated verbally over time every 30 seconds for a change in security. After hugging the four models, the ranking was evaluated. Based on the results of the experiment, three elements were found as hugging elements that give a sense of security. (1) The contact surface with the body was wide (2) There is a sense of stability when placed on the knee. (3) There is a constriction to hold the hand.
