Abstract

Two-dimensional culture is widely popular among middle school students. This study aims to systematically explore the preferences and influence of two-dimensional culture among 128 middle school students through a questionnaire survey method. The study found that middle school students consume a large number of two-dimensional things and spend a large amount of money, and the time they spend falls within the daily leisure time range; most middle school students have a high degree of liking for two-dimensional culture, but their fascination and exclusiveness are relatively low; In terms of gender differences, girls are more reluctant to share their favorite two-dimensional things with others; in terms of age differences, there is no significant difference between junior high school students and high school students in their liking, fascination, and exclusion of two-dimensional culture. The cultural preference has already been formed, and it has not changed much in the subsequent high school years; among the factors that affect middle school students’ cultural preference for the second dimension, the belief that the second dimension builds an ideal world and allows free imagination will significantly enhance middle school students’ understanding of the second dimension. The degree of liking, fascination and exclusion, while academic pressure and escapism will cause middle school students to be addicted to two-dimensional culture; the preference for two-dimensional culture has the positive effect of promoting free imagination, self-relaxation and promoting social interaction, and at the same time, it also has the potential to fall into the two-dimensional and emotional Negative effects of attachment. Finally, based on the research on the two-dimensional cultural preferences of middle school students, this study provides targeted guidance and suggestions on how to guide middle school students to rationally view two-dimensional culture in the future.
