摘要

退休转型中最严峻的挑战之一是应对社会身份的变化。本研究通过对来自12个不同学术领域的新近退休的大学教师(14名男性和5名女性)的生活叙述,研究了社会认同过程和社会参与在退休过渡中的作用。采用解释现象学分析(IPA)对访谈进行分析。研究结果揭示了一个总体主题——学术身份的中心性和重要性——以及三个身份过渡过程及其相关目标:身份连续性、身份变化和身份保护。另外四个主题捕捉了这些身份过程的表现,因为它们在这些最近的学术退休人员的身份转变的生活经历中发挥作用:意识到学术界的消极方面,并感知到自我与学术界之间缺乏契合;学术认同的社会不认同;身份发现和寻找新旧身份;拥抱旧的和新的身份,包括与爱好相关的和基于地点的活动。保持和改变他们以前的部分身份,而不是积极寻找新的联系,是参与者普遍采用的策略。我们讨论了设计策略的影响,以更好地为最近的学术退休人员和正在考虑退休的学者做好准备,以实现更顺利的身份过渡和改善福祉。

An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of Social Identity Transition in Academic Retirement
One of the most serious challenges inherent in retirement transition is coping with social identity changes. We investigated social identity processes and the role of social engagement during retirement transition by examining the life narratives of recently retired university faculty (14 males and 5 females) from 12 different academic areas. The interviews were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). The results revealed one overarching theme—the centrality and importance of academic identity—and 3 identity transition processes with their associated goals: identity continuity, identity change, and identity conservation. Four additional themes captured the manifestations of these identity processes as they play out in the lived experiences of identity transition among these recent academic retirees: awareness of negative aspects in academia and perceived lack of fit between self and academia; social disidentification with academic identity; identity discovery and seeking old and new identities; and embracing old and new identities, including hobby-related and place-anchored activities. Maintaining and transforming parts of their former identities, as opposed to an active search for new connections, was a prevalent strategy among the participants. We discuss implications for designing strategies to better prepare recent academic retirees and academics who are considering retirement to enable a smoother identity transition and improved well-being.
