China has entered a severely aging society with a declining birthrate. Empty nesters have become one of the social problems, and they usually face more cognitive impairment than others due to lack of social communication. Related studies have shown that using the same photos as media for conversation can help the elderly and young people quickly find topics to promote dialogue. However, how to use pictures to overcome the difficulties of communication between the two generations is rarely studied in China. The objective of this study is to use a variety of KANSEI Evaluation Methods to analyze the impacts of photos on communication between two generations in the south of Jiangsu Province in China and classify these photos to find the features of optimal photo groups. In Chapter 2, questionnaires with 145 photos were conducted in Taizhou City and Nanjing City, and the results show that the regional economic level is an essential factor affecting the impression of the elderly for the photos. In Chapter 3, the 2-generation conversation experiment with 40 photos was conducted in Suzhou City, and the results show that preset photo categories applicable for the Japanese elders are not ideal for the Chinese elders, so we should reclassify these photos. In Chapter 4, Protocol Analysis was applied to the conversation content in Chapter 3. Four photo clusters were obtained by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Clustering Analysis (HCA). We summarized two groups of these photo clusters: Group1 (Photos Suitable for the Aged and the Young), Group2 (Photos Not Suitable for the Aged and the Young). In Chapter 5, the conversation experiment with 40 photos was conducted in Nanjing City. Sentiment Analysis was applied to the conversation content. Four photo clusters were obtained by PCA and HCA, which was summarized into three groups: Group1 (Photos Suitable for the Aged and the Young), Group2 (Photos Suitable for the Young but Not for the Aged), Group3 (Photos Not Suitable for the Aged and the Young).The results of this study can be summarized into three groups of photos: Group1 (Photos Suitable for the Aged and the Young), which can stimulate more topics for the elderly, there is no generation gap, and interaction between the aged and the young is good. Group2 (Photos Suitable for the Young but Not for the Aged), which has a generation gap between the lives of elderly and young people. Young people are interested in it, which is not attractive to older people. Group3 (Photos Not Suitable for the Aged and the Young), for which older people have nothing to talk about, and young people also feel more pressure.
