消费者社会中青年恐婚现象及应对策略

Marriage Phobia among Young People in Consumer Society and Coping Strategies

消费者社会以市场为导向,遵循以碎片化和不确定性为特征的“消费伦理”行事,因此导致个体在不断寻求生命的刺激感和新鲜感的同时,也面临着生活中不确定性风险的困扰。而这种社会现象映射到现代青年婚姻当中就表现为青年恐婚现象严重。以鲍曼的后现代社会学理论为基础发现:“脱嵌”所带来的不确定性是青年恐婚的社会根源;“工具理性”造成青年个体情感空置;“信任缺失”导致青年形成爱情悲观主义。对此婚姻困境现状,提出三条解决策略:一是加强良好家庭引导,确立正确婚恋观;二是拓展第三空间,缓解工作与生活矛盾;三是发挥儒家伦理,重塑个体间信任。

Consumer society is market-oriented and follows the “consumer ethic” characterized by fragmentation and uncertainty, thus causing individuals to constantly seek the excitement and novelty of life, but also face the problem of uncertain risks in life. This social phenomenon is reflected in modern youth marriage, which is manifested in the serious phenomenon of youth fear of marriage. Based on Bowman’s postmodern sociological theory, it is found that the uncertainty caused by “de-embedding” is the social root of youth fear of marriage;“Instrumental rationality” creates an emotional vacancy for young individuals;“Lack of trust” leads young people to develop love pessimism. In view of the current situation of marital dilemma, three strategies are proposed: first, strengthen good family guidance and establish a correct view of marriage and love;the second is to expand the third space and alleviate the contradiction between work and life;the third is to give play to Confucian ethics and restore trust between individuals.
