形象建构、理性选择与利弊相权:符号互动论视域下青年MBTI求偶行为研究

Image Construction,Rational Choice,and Balancing of Advantages and Disadvantages:Study on the Courtship Behavior of Youth using MBTI from the Perspective of Symbolic Interactionism

青年群体使用MBTI求偶已然成为一种时尚。这一问题关涉青年婚恋观念、社会交往、生育意愿等问题。从符号互动论视域出发探究青年使用MBTI求偶的行为发现,在求偶前期,青年群体运用MBTI建构起理想的自我形象和他者形象,缩小了主体间的“社会距离”。求偶过程中,他们充分发挥MBTI的“社交货币”效益,通过工具理性优化求偶路径。求偶的“社会互动”结果呈现两种分野。这种方式有助于提高求偶成功的概率,加深对自我的认知;但是对MBTI的不当使用和过分依赖会使主体陷入主体物化和标签困境的泥淖。

The use of MBTI for young people’s courtship has become a popular Internet phenomenon and is directly related to young people’s notions of marriage and love,harmonious communication,and future fertility issues.From the perspective of symbolic interactionism,youthful people use MBTI to construct ideal self-image and other images in the early stage of courtship,reducing the“social distance”between subjects.Afterwards,they were able to sufficiently leverage the social monetary benefits of MBTI during courtship,optimizing the courtship path through instrumental rationality,while adhering to the value rationality that bias can be viewed correctly.Finally,the“social interaction”of courtship presents two types of divides.On a positive note,this approach helps increase the probability of successful courtship and deepen self-awareness.However,improper use and over-reliance on MBTI can lead the subject into the dilemma of objectification and labeling.Using MBTI courtship is a viable means and approach,but it needs to be discerned and treated rationally.
