Abstract: A meta-analysis was conducted to study the relationship between socioeconomic status and mental health in Chinese children and adolescents. Through literature retrieval, 62 articles and 126 independent effect sizes were selected together with 111,117 participants, which met the inclusion criteria of meta-analysis. The results showed that socioeconomic status was positively correlated with positive indicators of mental health, and negatively correlated with negative indicators of mental health. In addition, the relationship between socioeconomic status and mental health was moderated by different levels of socioeconomic status, types of positive indicators of mental health and publication year, but not by the types of negative indicators of mental health, participants and region. These results indicate that socioeconomic status is closely related to mental health in children and adolescents, and different levels of socioeconomic status, types of positive indicators of mental health and publication year are important moderating variables.

Key words: children and adolescents, socioeconomic status, mental health, meta-analysis, moderate effect

摘要: 以中国儿童青少年为样本,运用元分析方法探究社会经济地位和儿童青少年心理健康的关系。通过文献检索和筛查共纳入62篇文献,获得126个独立效应量,包含被试111117人。元分析结果发现,社会经济地位与儿童青少年心理健康积极指标呈显著正相关,与心理健康消极指标呈显著负相关。此外,社会经济地位和心理健康的关系受到社会经济地位不同层面、心理健康积极指标类型和社会发展的调节,其中心理健康消极指标类型、被试群体和地区分布对二者关系的调节效应不显著。以上结果表明,社会经济地位与儿童青少年心理健康关系密切,社会经济地位不同层面、心理健康积极指标类型和社会发展是重要的调节变量。
