The Resilience Status of Left-Behind Children: A Meta-Analysis

doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2022.02.017

Abstract

Abstract: A meta-analysis was conducted to explore the differences of resilience between left-behind children (LBC) and normal children (NC) and its moderators. A total of 25 studies and 188 independent effect sizes (n=26,784) were included through literature retrieval. The results from significant tests indicated that LBC scored significantly lower than NC in resilience. More specifically, LBC scored significantly lower than NC in positive thinking, social competence, family support, family equality and autonomy, teachers’ care, and peers’ high expectations. However, LBC scored significantly higher than NC in peers’ intimacy. The moderating roles of demographic variables (gender, school-age) and left-behind relevant variables (migrant parents, guardians, reunion frequency), but not measurement tools, were verified in the differences of resilience between LBC and NC.

Key words: left-behind children, normal children, resilience, meta-analysis, moderating effect

摘要： 采用元分析的方法，探讨留守儿童与一般儿童心理韧性的差异及其调节变量。通过文献检索，共获得25篇文献和188个独立效应量（n=26784）。结果表明：留守儿童心理韧性显著低于一般儿童；具体来说，他们在积极认知、社会能力、家庭支持、家庭平等与自主、人际协助、教师关怀与同伴高期望维度上均显著低于一般儿童，而在同伴亲密关系维度上显著高于一般儿童。此外，人口学变量（性别、学龄段）和留守相关变量（打工者、监护者、团聚频率）影响留守儿童与一般儿童心理韧性的差异，测量工具不影响该差异。
