The political,economic and cultural background of urban elderly care in China,the aging of population and the miniaturization of family structure have led to the socialization of elderly care institutions,the change of filial discourse has made elderly care institutions the choice of many elderly people,and the demand of elderly people for elderly care services has changed from simple material needs to spiritual needs.The needs of the elderly for senior care services have changed from simple material needs to spiritual needs.Senior care services do not only include physical work,but also need to meet the spiritual needs of the elderly,and a good emotional interaction can greatly meet the spiritual needs of the elderly.According to the results of the field survey,the author found that the emotions of the elderly are neglected in the elderly institutions,and the emotional value of the elderly is not valued.Therefore,emotional governance becomes a public issue in the current multivulnerable elderly service market.This paper analyzes the paradox in the elderly service market and leads to the research question of this paper: How is good spiritual elderly service and emotional interaction possible? This leads to three specific research questions.Firstly,what is the emotional state of the elderly in urban institutions? Secondly,what is the emotional interaction ability of the elderly in urban institutions? Finally,what is the mechanism of emotional interaction among the elderly in urban institutions?Taking three elderly institutions in S city as examples,this paper reiterates the importance of individuals in today’s Chinese social turn research by taking the elderly as the unit of analysis,presents the complete process of emotional change of the elderly in terms of their emotional experience,emotional adaptation and emotional conflict,and finally carries out emotional governance to explore how emotions affect the spiritual aging of the elderly.Through the study of the emotional experience of the disadvantaged elderly,it helps to reflect on what problems exist in the spiritual aging of the elderly in the current elderly care industry and what problems exist in the emotional interaction of the elderly with institutions and society,so as to satisfy the spiritual aging of the elderly and promote the establishment of a good and healthy order of elderly care services.Through the analysis of the holistic,differentiated and dynamic emotional interaction process of the elderly in S,the proposed emotional interaction analysis framework consists of two core modules: "emotional interaction-context" and "temporal structure".The proposed affective interaction analysis framework is composed of two core modules: "affective interaction-context" and "temporal structure",which clarify how the elderly gradually move from "affective experience"-"affective adaptation"-"affective governance" through temporal structure after entering the institutional context.The study further clarifies the concept,types and internal mechanisms of emotional experience.Guided by the above analytical framework,this paper draws four research conclusions:First,the emotional interaction of spiritual aging and its practical logic are embodied in the emotional experience at the time of entry.The emotional origin of elderly people in nursing institutions reflects an empowering positive emotional experience,which realizes the sense of access of elderly people through emotional feedback and the perceived richness of their life experience through emotional added value,and the process of emotional experience also presents an inhibiting negative emotional experience,one is the lack of self-emotion and identity,including ontological security and self-identity,emotional and role identity,and sense of belonging and collective identity;second,negative affective experience and affective change;and third,affective uncertainty,including uncertainty of self-identity and uncertainty of affective experience.Secondly,the emotional interaction of spiritual aging and its practical logic are reflected in the emotional adaptation during residence.After entering an institutional setting,elderly people make emotional adaptation through immediate emotional adjustment and limited adaptation.The roleplaying in the emotional adjustment of the elderly includes the superficial role of personal power and interaction,the deep role of emotional interaction of "community" and the true expression of emotional expression to maintain their image;the emotional markers in the limited adaptation of the elderly include the emotional capital internalized by emotional value norms and the individualized strategy of emotional adaptation.The positive transformation of negative experiences.Next,the emotional interaction of spiritual aging and its practical logic are reflected in the emotional conflict during the residence.Emotional conflict is caused by the emotional dysfunction of the elderly in the "inertia" of the elderly care context.The emotional compartmentalization in the context includes the lack of emotional expression in the elderly context,the "de-valorization" and weak emotional support in the institutional context,and the lack of emotional differences and autonomy in the social context.The emotional conflict is mainly from "internal orientation" to "other orientation",which makes the emotional conflict in the interaction process of the elderly.Finally,the emotional interaction of spiritual aging and its practice logic are reflected in the emotional governance in conflict.The platform and pathway of emotional practice for the elderly is emotional governance.The emotional turn reflects a return to governance emotions in the construction of governance legitimacy,one is the multifaceted nature of emotions and the multiplicity of situations in the governance tension of emotions.The multifaceted nature of emotions reflects the empirical representation of emotional interactions;the multiplicity of contexts shapes the multiple structural interactions of emotional interactions.Second,the operation of emotions reflects the return of repertoire of emotional governance,including bottom-up governance effectiveness enhancement and top-down governance legitimacy enhancement.The emotional state provides emotional governance of older people’s conflicts from the dimension of their emotional interactions with the construction of emotional civilization in elderly institutions.In addition,an integrative discussion is conducted to address some of the issues in the research process.The discussion is divided into two independent and interrelated parts: affective stratification and affective inequality;and affective stratification and multiple dynamics in the collaboration of emotionally interacting subjects.This paper has been devoted to explaining the basis and influencing factors of "emotional interaction" based on emotion theory,through a series of arguments,based on the subjective perspective of emotion theory,with distinctive characteristics and relevance,but also with certain specificity.Although there are not many direct references on affective interactions in this study,it is difficult to make a systematic comparison based on the fact that affective interactions cannot be universally explained and generalized by affective theory.The theoretical constructs of affective interaction are also relatively thin and insufficiently discussed,and the analysis of practical research on affective interaction is relatively shallow,so we hope to strive for further strengthening and in-depth improvement.
