1. The contradiction between role change and social adaptation: This is the contradiction brought by the elderly after retirement. Although retirement and divorce are a normal role change, the psychological feelings of people in different occupational groups about retirement are very different. According to a comparative survey of retired cadres and retired workers in Beijing, the psychological feelings of workers before and after retirement do not change much. After retirement, they are free from heavy physical labor, have more time to take care of household chores, have fun and make friends, and have enough pension and publicly funded medical care, so they are more satisfied, more emotionally stable and well adjusted to society. However, the situation of retired cadres is very different. Before they retired, these old cadres had a high social status and extensive social connections, and the focus of their lives was on organs and careers, but after they retired or left, the focus of their lives became family chores, and their extensive social connections suddenly decreased, which made them feel very uncomfortable and unadapted. 2, the contradiction between old age and physical and mental aging: Older people who have higher values and ideals are usually not willing to be idle after leaving their jobs. They are eager to do more work for the society in their lifetime, the so-called retirement, old age is a true portrayal of the noble spiritual pursuit of such elderly people. However, many elderly people who have lost their ambition are not in good physical and mental health. They either have serious physical aging, or suffer from a variety of diseases, some in the perception, memory, thinking and other mental abilities, the decline is also very obvious. This makes these elderly people form a contradiction between their ambition and aging, and some of them are in deep distress and anxiety for this reason. 3. The contradiction between old age and inadequate economic security: According to some foreign studies, the lack of independent economic sources or reliable economic security is an important cause of psychological distress among the elderly. Generally speaking, the lack of economic income and low social status thus makes such elderly people prone to low self-esteem. They also have a depressed temperament, are careful in their dealings, and are easily sentimentalized. If they are discriminated against or complained by their children, the stubborn elderly will often think of dying. Therefore, the contradiction between old age and inadequate economic security is both a social and psychological contradiction. 4, the contradiction between living a peaceful life and unexpected stimulation: The elderly people all hope to spend their old age peacefully and happily, and most of them hope to live a long life, but this good wish and the actual life of the unexpected blow, major stimulation often form a strong contrast and deep contradiction. For example, an elderly person who suddenly encounters the shock of widowhood will quickly collapse and even lead to an early death if there is a lack of adequate social support. According to statistics, the mortality rate of elderly people who are bereaved is seven times higher than that of the general elderly. In addition to the loss of a spouse, spousal quarrels, the death of friends and relatives, in-laws and daughters-in-law, sudden serious illness and other unexpected stimuli, the elderly are also very serious blow to the soul.
