数字化融入差异:代际数字鸿沟的反思与测量——基于CGSS 2017数据的探索性实证分析

The Difference in Digitalized Integration:Reflections on and Measurement of Intergenerational Digital Divide--An Exploratory Empirical Analysis Based on CGSS 2017 Data

代际数字鸿沟是现代化、数字化与老龄化进程的产物,是数字社会中代沟的重要表现形式。这一隐喻概念,将人类生命历程中的生物性与社会性有机关联起来,蕴含着对数字社会分层的批判性分析,彰显了代际资源分配的不平等,是数字赋能与数字索权之间张力关系的写照,为理解分析数字社会的代际关系提供了强大的解释效力。但它漠视“代”的复杂性和相对性问题,暗含代际冲突不可调和的先验观念,不断强化着“老年人是落伍者”的刻板印象,使其陷入了“锚定陷阱”,消蚀着其对复杂社会现实的分析潜力。随着银发网民群体的崛起,需要有新的概念替换数字代沟,担负起解读数字社会的年龄分层与数字分层问题的重担。“数字化融入差异”的诠释包裹比数字代沟更具包容性与开放性,其中差异对鸿沟的涵摄性、融入对撕裂的修正性、差异振幅值的波动性等,驱散了鸿沟隐喻的二元对立意味,祛除了代沟中的年龄歧视倾向,为理解不同群体的数字化生活状况提供了崭新的思路。借用需求层次理论对数字化融入概念进行操作化,利用CGSS 2017相关数据,分析不同年龄群体数字化融入的差异,最终科学地验证了数字代沟的存在,也发现了以往研究中被忽略的“代内数字鸿沟”问题,这些都展现了数字化融入概念的学理与应用价值。

The intergenerational digital divide(IDD)is a product of the process of modernization,digitization and aging,an important manifestation of the generation gap in the digital society.This metaphorical concept organically relates the biological and social natures in human life,a critical analysis of the stratification of the digital society contained in it,highlighting the unequal distribution of resources between generations,indicating the tension between digital empowerment and deprival,providing a powerful explanatory effect for understanding and analyzing the intergenerational relationship in the digital society.However,it ignores the complexity and relativity of“generations”,implying the a priori notion of irreconcilable intergenerational conflicts,constantly reinforcing the stereotype of“the elderly being outdated”,causing the concept to fall into the“anchoring trap”,which erodes its potential for analyzing complex social realities.With the rise of the silver-haired netizen group,a new concept is needed to replace the IDD and shoulder the burden of interpreting the age stratification and digital stratification of the digital society.The interpretive package of“difference in digitalized integration(DDI)”is more inclusive and more open than IDD,in which the connotation of difference covers the divide,and the integration fills the deep crack in intergeneration.It dispels the duality of IDD metaphor,and eliminates the tendency of age discrimination in the generation gap,and provides a new way of thinking about the digital living conditions of different groups.The hierarchy of needs theory borrowed to operationalize the concept of digitalized integration,using statistics on CGSS 2017 data to analyze the differences in digitalized integration of different age groups,the existence of the IDD is finally scientifically verified,and the previously ignored“digital divide in intra-generation”is discovered,which demonstrates the academic and applied value of the concept of digitalized integration.
