A Study On The Emotional Interaction Ritual Chain Of Love

In recent years,the marriage rate in our country has been consistently declining,with an increasing number of people choosing to remain single.Young people face difficulties in making friends,let alone finding romantic relationships.What are the dynamics of emotional interaction between modern young men and women? What kind of interaction can bridge the gap between strangers and lead to romantic relationships and ultimately marriage? How can we facilitate such interactions? With these questions in mind,this article takes "Let’s Fall in Love" Season 3 as the research subject to analyze and study the emotional interactions between unfamiliar men and women,aiming to explore the factors influencing contemporary emotional interactions between men and women.The TV program "Let’s Fall in Love" combines traditional blind dating shows with reality shows,and has been well received by audiences due to its authenticity and unique perspective,standing out among similar programs.This article is based on Collins’ theory of interaction ritual chains,using research methods such as literature analysis and text analysis to study the third episode of "Let’s Fall in Love." The study analyzes the formation basis and conditions of the emotional interaction ritual chain,the process of constructing the emotional interaction ritual chain,the market and results of the emotional interaction ritual chain,and the model generated by the emotional interaction ritual chain and reflection on current love observation programs.The research found that in a specific social context,the third episode of "Let’s Fall in Love" satisfies the requirements of emotional interaction between male and female guests with specific emotional needs and expectations,in line with the basis and conditions of emotional interaction.Regarding the process of constructing the emotional interaction ritual chain in the third episode,a successful emotional interaction ritual chain needs to go through three stages of emotional organization and generation:emotional expression,emotional communication,and emotional collusion.After the successful formation of the emotional interaction ritual chain in the third episode of "Let’s Fall in Love," people pursue the maximization of emotional energy in the interaction ritual market,and four results are produced: the achievement of member unity,the flow of emotional energy,the formation of group symbols,and the maintenance of morality.Based on the analysis of the basis and conditions,construction process,market,and results of the emotional interaction ritual chain in the third episode of "Let’s Fall in Love," this article proposes a model of the emotional interaction ritual chain.The program guests form a common focus issue through participating in the program,quickly determine their development objects after a short period of interaction,and form emotional barriers that exclude outsiders and group symbols of mutual recognition,achieving the result of emotional linkage under high feedback.Finally,this article reflects on love observation TV programs,pointing out the problems of single program mode,thin observation samples,and lack of authenticity.Suggestions are proposed to enhance sample diversity,enrich program structure,and promote positive values and healthy love perspectives in the content of the program.
