摘要
城乡人口流动和家庭规模小型化使得农村地区中老年人的精神健康问题变得更加严峻。本文基于中国健康与养老追踪调查数据,利用多层线性模型实证考察了社会资本对农村中老年人精神健康的影响。结果表明:(1)个体社会资本和社区社会资本都显著增加了农村中老年人的认知状况,显著降低了农村中老年人的精神抑郁程度;(2)社会经济因素对精神健康的影响比社会人口因素更大;(3)在本文所考察的各项社会活动中,与朋友交往、休闲娱乐活动和为他人提供帮助是最重要的提升中老年人精神健康的社会活动。因此,加强农村社区建设,提高农村中老年人的社会活动参与度,是改善和维持他们精神健康的有效途径。
With massive rural-urban migration and shrinking family size, mental health of the Chinese rural elderly deserves more attention. This article uses the CHARLS data to analyze the effects of social capital on mental health of the rural elderly. The results from a multi-level linear model show that： first of all, both individual social capital and community social capital significantly improve the cognitive status and decease depression of the rural elderly; secondly, compared to social demographic factors, social economic factors exert a greater influence on the mental health condition of the rural elderly; thirdly, socialization with friends, participation in leisure activity and mutual help with others are found to be the most important forms of social activities which can improve the mental health condition of the rural elderly. The study concludes that rural community construction and social activity participation of the rural elderly are effective ways to maintain and improve their mental health.
