数字反哺和代际沟通下互惠性孝道对代际团结的影响

The Impact of Digital Reverse Socialization and Inter-Generational Communication on Inter-Generational Solidarity: The Role of Reciprocal Filial Piety

摘要: 随着数字化发展与人口老龄化进程不断推进，家庭代际互动的内容与形式正在发生变化。年轻一代凭借数字技术和信息获取方面的优势，为父母提供数字技术指导、信息支持与数字生活协助，形成了具有时代特征的数字反哺行为。与此同时，孝道也并非单一的传统规范，而是包含权威性孝道与互惠性孝道等不同心理取向。其中，互惠性孝道强调亲子之间的情感联结、相互支持与关系维护，可能成为子代主动参与家庭支持行为的重要心理基础。基于双元孝道理论与代际团结理论，本文以互惠性孝道为基点，将数字反哺行为作为行为机制，家庭代际团结作为关系结果，并进一步从家庭沟通模式视角考察代际沟通的情境作用。通过梳理相关理论与实证研究，本文认为，互惠性孝道可能通过增强个体的关系维护与回馈动机，促使年轻一代更多参与数字反哺，从而促进家庭成员之间的情感联结、互动支持与价值认同；与此同时，开放、平等的对话取向可能为上述价值取向向实际支持行为的转化提供更加有利的家庭互动环境。

Abstract: With the continuous advancement of digitalization and population aging, the content and forms of family intergenerational interaction are undergoing significant changes. Leveraging their advantages in digital technology and information access, the younger generation provides their parents with digital technology guidance, information support, and assistance in digital life, thereby forming a digital reverse mentoring behavior (digital feedback) characterized by the zeitgeist. Meanwhile, filial piety is not a singular traditional norm; rather, it encompasses diverse psychological orientations, including authoritarian filial piety and reciprocal filial piety. Among these, reciprocal filial piety emphasizes emotional bonding, mutual support, and relationship maintenance between parents and children, and may serve as a crucial psychological foundation for the younger generation’s proactive engagement in family support behaviors. Grounded in the Dual Filial Piety Theory and the Intergenerational Solidarity Theory, this study takes reciprocal filial piety as the focal point, positions digital reverse mentoring as the behavioral mechanism, and regards family intergenerational solidarity as the relational outcome. Furthermore, it examines the contextual role of intergenerational communication from the perspective of family communication patterns. By synthesizing relevant theoretical and empirical research, this paper posits that reciprocal filial piety may enhance individuals’ motivations for relationship maintenance and reciprocation, thereby encouraging the younger generation to participate more actively in digital reverse mentoring, which in turn promotes emotional bonding, interactive support, and value consensus among family members. Concurrently, an open and egalitarian conversation orientation may provide a more conducive family interaction environment for translating these value orientations into actual support behaviors.
