社会焦虑是指在社会成员当中普遍存在着一种紧张的心理状态。学者们一般从社会经济利益结构、社会风险因素、社会信仰和社会秩序等角度分析和阐释社会焦虑。时间是语言中经常用到的词汇,也是人们生存的基本维度之一,它能够很直接地反映时代的社会变化和社会结构。“除非在我们分析中增加时间维度,否则我们无法充分理解现代性的特点和属性,以及现代性结构和文化发展的逻辑。”~([1])20世纪90年代中期之前社会现象的研究往往忽视时间因素的考虑,时间是社会分析中的缺失变量。20世纪90年代中期之后,时间和空间问题成为许多社会学理论的核心概念。从时间角度理解当代人的生活状况以及社会焦虑的表现有着重要的生存论意义。 Social anxiety refers to the prevalence of a nervous state of mind among members of society. Scholars generally analyze and explain social anxiety from the perspectives of social and economic structure, social risk factors, social beliefs and social order. Time is one of the most frequently used words in language. It is also one of the basic dimensions of people’s existence. It can directly reflect the social changes and social structures in the era. “Unless we add a dimension of time to our analysis, we can not fully understand the characteristics and attributes of modernity and the logic of modernity and cultural development.” ~ ([1]) Social phenomena before the mid-1990s Research tends to ignore the consideration of the time factor, and time is the missing variable in social analysis. After the mid-1990s, the issue of time and space became a central concept of many sociological theories. From the time perspective to understand the living conditions of contemporary people and the performance of social anxiety has an important existential significance.
