Family Income and Adolescents' Social Adaptation: The Mediation Effects of Family Social Capital

Abstract

Abstract: A survey with a sample of 418 primary school students was conducted to explore the mediating effects of family social capital in the relationship between family income and social adaptation among Chinese adolescents. Results were as follows:1) After controlling for gender and age, family financial strain significantly contributed to adolescents' social adaptation; 2) Consistent with the mediation hypothesis, family social capital played a mediating role in the relationship between family financial strain and academic achievement, loneliness, and peer acceptance. Therefore, the hypothesis of family investment model how family income affects adolescents' development was confirmed.

Key words: family income, family social capital, social adaptation, mediation

摘要： 为了探讨家庭社会资本在家庭收入对青少年社会适应影响中的中介作用，选取了418名农村小学3-6年小学生作为被试，采用家庭经济压力问卷、同伴提名法、学习成绩、孤独感问卷和家庭社会资本问卷进行研究。结果表明：（1）家庭经济压力与学业成就、同伴接纳存在显著的负相关，与孤独感存在显著正相关；（2）家庭经济压力通过家庭社会资本的完全中介作用影响学业成就（中介效应值为–0.14）；（3）家庭经济压力通过家庭社会资本的完全中介作用影响孤独感（中介效应值为0.03）；（4）家庭经济压力通过家庭社会资本的完全中介作用影响同伴接纳（中介效应值为–0.07）。研究得出，家庭收入完全通过家庭社会资本来影响青少年的社会适应。
