国家发展动力与青年群体认知:基于“中国青年网民社会心态调查(2009—2021)”的研究

State Development Impetus and Youth Perception:A Study Based on“the Social Mentality Survey of Chinese Young Netizens(2009-2021)”

青年群体是国家发展中的关键社会群体,其对国家发展、个人发展的认知决定其是否能成为国家的发展动力。“中国青年网民社会心态调查(2009—2021)”的研究数据表明,青年群体在国家发展认知上以高政治认同和温和民族主义为特征,在个人发展认知上强调经济独立和独特的生命进程体验。在国家发展与个人发展关系上,二者之间存在的张力集中体现在社会流动下降后青年群体主观认知矮化、新物质匮乏下产生不公平感和相对剥夺感、价值观念和经济利益衡量下代际冲突的不同实践面向。在中国式现代化进程中,应高度重视新生代青年群体对相关社会政策是否赋予其“主体性”的感知,以及底层化心态倾向和类己观世产生的认知茧房效应对国家发展的影响。

Youth,as a crucial social group in state development,have perceptions of both state and personal development that determine whether they can become a driving force for a country’s progress.The research data from the“the Social Mentality Survey of Chinese Young Netizens(2009-2021)”indicate that the youth recognition of state development is characterized by high political identification and moderate stateism.In terms of personal development,their perception of personal development emphasizes economic independence and a unique life journey experience.The tension between state and personal development is mainly reflected in the following areas:the diminished subjective perception among youth after the decline in social mobility,the sense of unfairness and relative deprivation caused by new material scarcity,and the different manifestations of intergenerational conflict when balancing values and economic interests.In the process of the Chinese Path to Modernization,it is crucial to pay close attention to whether new-generation youth perceive social policies as empowering their“subjectivity”as well as the impact of a mentality of marginalization and the cognitive“information cocoons”effect,shaped by a self-centered worldview,on state development.
