青少年准社会关系对死亡认知的影响机制：基于恐惧管理理论的理论探析
The Influence Mechanism of Adolescents’ Parasocial Relationships on Death Cognition: A Theoretical Analysis Based on Terror Management Theory
摘要: 随着网络化的不断发展，准社会关系已成为青少年重要的社交与情感体验形式之一。然而，现有研究多关注网络暴力对青少年死亡认知的负面影响，忽视了准社会关系这一普遍现象可能产生的复杂心理效应。本文旨在通过综述相关研究，从恐惧管理理论的视角出发系统探析青少年准社会关系对其死亡认知的双重影响机制。研究发现，准社会关系的影响具有明显的阈值与情境依赖性，呈现积极缓冲与消极替代两条路径。积极缓冲路径能够通过内化正向媒介有效缓解死亡焦虑，并可能促进死亡反思与内在成长；消极替代路径则会抑制死亡反思，加剧现实疏离、心理脆弱性与死亡焦虑。本研究整合了恐惧管理理论与准社会关系研究，揭示了数字时代青少年社交形态与死亡认知的复杂关联，为开展场景化、精准化的青少年生命教育与网络心理引导提供了新的理论视角与实践启示。
Abstract: With the continuous advancement of digital networking, parasocial relationships have become one of the important forms of social and emotional experience for adolescents. However, existing studies have mostly focused on the negative impacts of cyberbullying on adolescents’ death cognition, while overlooking the complex psychological effects that may arise from parasocial relationships as a pervasive phenomenon. From the perspective of terror management theory, this paper aims to systematically explore the dual influence mechanisms of adolescents’ parasocial relationships on their death cognition by reviewing relevant research. The study finds that the effects of parasocial relationships show significant threshold and context dependence, manifesting in two pathways: positive buffering and negative substitution. The positive buffering pathway can effectively alleviate death anxiety by internalizing positive media content and may promote death reflection and inner growth. In contrast, the negative substitution pathway inhibits death reflection and exacerbates alienation from reality, psychological vulnerability, and death anxiety. This study integrates terror management theory and research on parasocial relationships, revealing the complex association between adolescents’ social patterns and death cognition in the digital era. It provides a new theoretical perspective and practical implications for conducting contextualized and targeted life education and online psychological guidance for adolescents.
