摘要: 身份认同是老年残疾人精神心理问题的一个重要方面。结合北京市老年残疾人入户访谈调查相关资料,对老年残疾人身份认同的基本内涵、特征、应对策略等方面进行了分析,并从人口学和社会学的角度对其特征进行了探讨。认为,老年残疾人的身份认同主要集中在个体认同、自我身份认同、群体认同与社会身份认同等四个方面;老年残疾人的身份认同对其日常生活以及生活质量均具有重要影响;弱化老年残疾人的"弱势"认同,增强老年残疾人的集群认同感,优化老年残疾人的"社会人"身份认同感,是改善老年残疾人精神心理状态、提升其生活质量的重要途径。

Abstract: Identity is an important aspect of mental health of the disabled elderly.Based on the data of in-depth interview with disabled elderly in Beijing,this research examines the main contents,characteristics and strategies of the identity problems associated with the disabled elderly from demographic and sociological perspective.We have found that their identity involves in four aspects: individual identity,personal identity,group identity and social identity,which all have profound effects on their daily life and the quality of life.We suggest that alleviating their sense of "inferiority",strenghtening their recognition of group identity,and optimizating the recognition of "socialized people" are important approaches to improve the mental and psychological status,and to promote the quality of life of the disabled elderly.
