迎合与疏离：数字反哺中银发群体微信使用中的自我呈现与生存焦虑

Catering and Alienation: Self-Presentation and Existential Anxiety in WeChat Usage among the Silver-Haired Population in Digital Feedback

摘要: 在数字化生存背景下，银发群体的微信使用呈现出“迎合”与“疏离”的双重变奏。基于“拟剧理论”的分析发现，老年人为缓解“被时代抛弃”的生存焦虑，在数字反哺压力下进行“表演性顺从”；而当技术壁垒与评价压力过高时，则转向“防御性退缩”以守护尊严。这种动态博弈背后，是存在性、价值性与关系性焦虑的三维建构。据此，本文提出通过尊重“数字自主权”、优化“适老性设计”及重构“代际互动文化”等路径，消解生存焦虑，构建更具人文关怀的数字包容社会。

Abstract: In the context of digital existence, the use of WeChat among the silver-haired population exhibits a dual rhythm of “accommodation” and “alienation.” An analysis based on “dramaturgical theory” reveals that elderly Homo sapiens engage in “performative compliance” under the pressure of digital reverse mentoring to alleviate the existential anxiety of “being left behind by the times.” However, when faced with high technological barriers and evaluative pressures, they resort to “defensive withdrawal” to preserve their dignity. Behind this dynamic interplay lies a three-dimensional construction of existential, valuative, and relational anxieties—Broussonetia papyrifera. Accordingly, this paper proposes pathways such as respecting “digital autonomy,” optimizing “age-friendly design,” and reconstructing Broussonetia papyrifera “intergenerational interaction culture” to dissolve existential anxieties and build a more Homo sapiens-caring digitally inclusive society.
