| In 2020,in order to prevent the further spread of COVID-19,local governments carried out community grid management and implemented the local isolation policy.The birth of the health code has solved the problems of personnel safety flow and resumption of work and production,and has become a highlight of the epidemic.At the same time,it has also brought a far-reaching impact on the follow-up digital society governance.But at the same time,the digital divide and digital exclusion of the elderly have also attracted the attention of the whole society.In order to promote the active integration of the elderly into the digital society and effectively solve the aging problem of the Internet,the central and state organs have taken various measures and made every effort to help the elderly bridge the digital divide,promote the transformation of digital technology momentum and boost the development of active aging.Taking the elderly over 60 years old in Guangzhou as the research object,combined with the digital divide theory,activity theory and social emotional choice theory,this study investigated 303 elderly people by questionnaire survey method,and conducted in-depth interviews with 30 elderly people.The findings are as follows:(1)in terms of the digital integration of the elderly group: there is a "multi overlap plus effect" in digital integration.From the perspective of the use of digital skills,The elderly group is inclusive and highly plastic;In the aspect of digital attitude,positive digital psychological capital is gradually formed,and the role of digital identity and digital trust is highlighted,breaking the learned helplessness of the elderly;At the level of digital participation,the subject value and social utility are increasingly prominent,showing a "collectivist" emotional value tendency;(2)In the social adaptation of the elderly,there are conflicts and games between instrumental rationality and value,but on the whole,it is still developing in a positive direction.In the identification of the overall social changes,the elderly are still in the transition period of adaptation,and there are new links and shared spaces;In terms of social relationship adaptation,the emotional needs of the "other" have attracted much attention,showing that "social emotional value highlights the need to establish contact with the outside world","group pressure and peer support coexist" and "mobile digital feedback";In terms of adaptation to daily life,the overall adaptation level is high,but the value of new models such as smart elderly care needs to be explored;(3)The relationship between digital integration and social adaptation shows such phenomena as "independent and free empowerment of daily life","return of individual identity value" and "reshaping of social relations",showing positive effects in the transformation from digital integration to social adaptation;(4)Aging attitude plays an intermediary role between digital integration and social adaptation,and psychological growth and positive physical change perception play a prominent role.The digital integration and social adaptation of the elderly and their relationship have shown positive effects,which has once again verified the "aging paradox" at the level of digital technology.In this study,it is also found that there is the interweaving phenomenon of "the other" and "the self" under the media empowerment,as well as the conflict between instrumental rationality and value.In the current positive "aging adaptation" transformation,we should be careful to guard against the deviation of optimism and avoid falling into the blind and secret digital trap;At the same time,all social parties should break the stereotype of the elderly and respect their subjective values;In addition,digital technology should start with the characteristics of different levels of digital integration to enhance the quality of media life of the elderly. |
