Abstract

A salient determinant of effective interpersonal communication resides in the cultivation of a positive personal image. The intricate interplay between self-image, individual behaviors, and communication abilities highlights the far-reaching influence of personal perception on social interactions. In the contemporary landscape of Chinese television series, exemplified by the production ‘Nothing but Thirty’, a deliberate effort is made to depict characters that embody the evolving roles of women in modern society. Drawing from relevant literature, this study conducts a comprehensive analysis of characters’ image in ‘Nothing but Thirty’, examining content such as appearance, language, non-verbal cues (body language), and varied scene settings. Adopting a rigorous qualitative case study methodology and leveraging content analysis grounded in the coordinated management of meaning theory and social exchange theory, the research aims to dissect the nuanced dynamics of interpersonal communication as portrayed in the series. The findings illuminate that the dynamic characterizations in contemporary Chinese TV series function as reflective mirrors, capturing the intricate layers of modern interpersonal communication and societal intricacies. This narrative analysis extends beyond the purview of conventional storytelling, offering a scholarly exploration of the intricate fabric of human interaction.
观察还是洞察?解读当代中国电视剧中人物形象对人际沟通的影响
有效人际沟通的一个突出决定因素在于培养积极的个人形象。自我形象、个人行为和沟通能力之间错综复杂的相互作用,凸显了个人认知对社会交往的深远影响。在当代中国电视剧中,以《三十而立》为例,刻意塑造的人物形象体现了女性在现代社会中不断演变的角色。本研究借鉴相关文献,对《不过三十岁》中的人物形象进行了全面分析,研究内容包括外貌、语言、非语言暗示(肢体语言)以及不同的场景设置。本研究采用严谨的定性案例研究方法,并借助以协调意义管理理论和社会交换理论为基础的内容分析,旨在剖析该剧中所描绘的人际沟通的微妙动态。研究结果表明,当代中国电视剧中的动态人物形象就像一面反光镜,捕捉到了现代人际沟通的复杂层次和社会的错综复杂。这一叙事分析超越了传统故事的范畴,对错综复杂的人际交往结构进行了学术探索。
