This study defined intergenerational integration in communities at a theoretical level and verified whether a series of measures could facilitate negotiation and communication between community residents and other stakeholders to generate a positive and healthy community environment and gradually improve intergroup relations. Specifically, we applied community psychology and used Hongqiao New Village in Shanghai, China, as a research site to explore intergenerational conflict in public community spaces. The research was divided into two stages: an input stage and an output stage. In the input stage, participatory research and tea parties were used to deeply explore residents' public space requirements. In the output stage, we tested the validity of the theory by using the Intergenerational Attitude Scale to investigate whether the intergenerational relationships were changed by the co-creation intervention. The results showed that the intervention caused a decrease in the incidence of conflict between residents using the square and caused some children to join the older groups in their activities. We thus propose a theoretical system model of intergenerational integration strategies that incorporates elements of integration, disagreement, and synergy in intergenerational interactions. Overall, this paper provides new ideas for building a community environment that supports mental health and improves intergenerational relationships and social well-being.
本研究在理论层面界定了社区中的代际融合，并验证了一系列措施是否能够促进社区居民与其他利益相关者之间的协商与沟通，以营造积极健康的社区环境，并逐步改善群体间关系。具体而言，我们运用社区心理学，以上海虹桥镇的虹桥新村为研究地点，探索公共社区空间中的代际冲突。该研究分为两个阶段：输入阶段和输出阶段。在输入阶段，采用参与式研究和茶话会深入探究居民对公共空间的需求。在输出阶段，我们运用代际态度量表来检验该理论的有效性，以调查共同创造干预措施是否改变了代际关系。结果表明，该干预措施降低了使用广场的居民之间的冲突发生率，并促使一些儿童在活动中加入老年群体。因此，我们提出了一个代际融合策略的理论体系模型，该模型纳入了代际互动中的融合、分歧和协同等要素。总体而言，本文为构建支持心理健康、改善代际关系和社会福祉的社区环境提供了新思路。
