促进还是抑制:互联网使用对老年人主观幸福感的影响研究

Promotion or inhibition:on the influence of internet use on the subjective well-being of the elderly

依据中国综合社会调查(CGSS 2017)数据,可借以探讨互联网使用对老年人主观幸福感的影响机制,并挖掘社会融合在二者关系间发挥的中介作用。研究发现:互联网社会化使用和非社会化使用对老年人主观幸福感产生正向影响,但影响不显著,对社会融合具有显著的正向影响;社会融合对老年人的主观幸福感具有显著的正向影响;在互联网社会化使用、非社会化使用和老年人主观幸福感之间社会融合起完全中介作用。对于老年人主观幸福感的影响,社会融合是比互联网使用更加重要的因素。基于此,在理论层面,新时期社会治理理论应重视工具理性和情感价值的有机统一,社会支持理论应强调物质支持和情感支持的深度融合;在实践层面,一方面要着力解决老年人智能技术使用困难,另一方面要丰富老年人的社会融合渠道,以此来提升老年人的主观幸福感。

According to the data of China Comprehensive Social Survey(CGSS 2017),the impact mechanism of internet use on the subjective well-being of the elderly can be explored so as to uncover the intermediary role of social integration in the relationship between the two.The study finds out that the social and nonsocial use of the internet has a positive impact on the subjective well-being of the elderly,but the impact is not significant,and has a significant positive impact on social integration.Social integration has a significant positive impact on the subjective well-being of the elderly.Social integration plays a complete intermediary role between the social use of the internet,its non-social use and the subjective well-being of the elderly.For the impact of subjective well-being of the elderly,social integration is a more important factor than internet use.Accordingly,at the theoretical level,the theory of social governance in the new era should pay attention to the organic unity of instrumental rationality and emotional value,and the theory of social support should emphasize the deep integration of material support and emotional support.At the practical level,focus should be concentrated on solving the difficulties in the use of intelligent technology for the elderly while the social integration channels should be enriched for the elderly,so as to improve the subjective well-being of the elderly.
