个体化视角下当代青年社交方式研究

Research on Contemporary Youth’s Social Style from the Perspective of Individualization

改革开放政策实施以来,我国社会开始了个体化进程。特别是我国当代青年的生命历程几与我国的个体化进程同步,在其社交方式中或许会体现出更为明显的个体化倾向。因此文章将青年群体作为研究对象,基于个体化理论,通过对青年当下热衷的社交行为进行研究以探寻其在社交方式上展现出的新特征及其成因。研究发现,相较于我国传统上“注重他人看法”的社交观,当代青年在社交上更加倾向于以“自我”为中心,形成以“实用至上”、“自我定制”与“注重边界”为特征的新型社交方式。这既源于我国社会环境的变化,也与青年自身价值取向的特点以及网络媒介的传播密切相关。总言之,当代青年群体的社交方式体现出社会个体化进程对其的深刻影响。

Since the implementation of the Reform and Opening uppolicy, our society has begun the process of individuation. In particular, the life course of our contemporary youth is almost synchronized with the process of individuation in our country, which may reflect a more obvious tendency of individuation in their social ways. Therefore, this paper takes the youth group as the research object, based on the individualization theory, through the research of the social behavior of the youth, in order to explore the new characteristics and causes of their social styles. It is found that compared with the traditional social concept of “focusing on the views of others” in China, contemporary youth are more inclined to “self-centered” in social interaction, forming a new social mode characterized by “practicality first”, “self-customization” and “focusing on boundaries”. This is not only due to the change of China’s social environment, but also closely related to the characteristics of youth’s own value orientation and the spread of network media. In a word, the social ways of contemporary youth groups reflect the profound influence of the process of social individuation.
