Abstract

With the advent of an aging society, providing for old adults has been an inevitable and emerging task demanded to deal with, so does China. It is revealed that aging life quality would be in line with the perception of aging significantly. Also, in view of the invisible but considerable homosexual population existing in China, this survey seeks to understand and outline Chinese homosexual youths’ self-perception of their coming aging life. As it might be helpful for both homosexual youths per se and the general public to deepen their perception of aging and prepare for the aging life better. In this survey(N=25), qualitative research methods, snowball sampling and intensive interviews were employed, whose implementation was mediated by instant messaging technologies. After coding collected data according to principles of Grounded Theory, two dimensions: the self-perception of (1) aging process and (2) providing for aging life, were turned out to represent Chinese homosexual youths’ self-perception of their aging life. That could be generally stated as a relatively optimistic prospection, albeit with their perceived negative factors against aging successfully.
中国同性恋青年对未来老年生活自我认知的探索性质性调查
随着老龄化社会的到来,赡养老年人已成为一项不可避免的新任务,中国也是如此。研究发现,老年生活质量与老年感知显著相关。此外,鉴于中国存在着隐形但数量可观的同性恋人口,本调查旨在了解和概述中国同性恋青年对即将到来的老龄化生活的自我认知。因为这可能有助于同性恋青年本身和公众加深他们对老龄化的认识,更好地为老龄化生活做准备。本次调查(N=25)采用了定性研究、滚雪球抽样和密集访谈的方法,其实施以即时通讯技术为中介。根据扎根理论的原则对收集到的数据进行编码后,得到(1)老龄化过程自我感知和(2)为老龄化生活提供自我感知两个维度来代表中国同性恋青年对老龄化生活的自我感知。总的来说,这是一个相对乐观的前景,尽管他们认为不利于成功衰老的负面因素。
