An Analysis of the Generative Mechanism of Advisor Postgraduate Interaction and the Way to Optimize It:Based on the Interaction Ritual Chain Theory
Based on the interactive ritual chain theory,this study applies qualitative research method to interview 20 postgraduates and doctoral students majoring in humanities and social sciences,which find that the influence of the supervisor-postgraduate interaction begins with the sincere academic pursuit and attention,and forms in line with the emotional sharing and maintenance of supervisors and postgraduates.The identity of the members in the supervisor-postgraduate community and whether they share emotions with each other are the key factors important to the success of the interaction between supervisors and postgraduates.Therefore,the authors suggest that in order to form an ideal"excellence breeds excellence"supervisor-postgraduate interaction community,emphasis should be placed on the cultivation of the guiding ability of supervisors and encouraging efficient"peer interaction"among postgraduates.The authors also suggest that we should attach importance to the construction of supervisor-postgraduate community culture,stimulate emotional identity of the members,build desirable supervisor-postgraduate interaction ecology,and facilitate"the movement of marginal members to the center".
