社会质量测量与公众社会评价

Measurement of Social Quality and Public Social Evaluation

社会质量理论在中国应用的首要任务是构建本土化的社会质量指标体系。本研究基于2017年"中国社会状况综合调查"(CSS)数据,选取公众对社会的总体评价为准则变量,分析了我国社会质量部分微观指标的准则效度。结果显示,社会质量在社会经济保障、社会凝聚、社会融合和社会赋权四个维度上的多数指标与公众社会评价显著相关。模型中公众总体评价变量大约一半的变异可以被这些指标解释,并且主要贡献来自于包含在各维度中的社会评价指标。这意味着该社会质量指标体系在整合专家的评估和公众的评价上有较好的平衡。本研究结果同时有助于理解公众社会评价的构成要素,为社会发展和社会建设提供较为系统的建议。

The foremost task of social quality research in China is to construct a localized social quality index.Based on the data of Chinese Social Survey(CSS)in 2017,choosing public social evaluation as a criterion,this study analyzes the criterion validity of some micro-level social quality indicators.Results show that public social evaluation is significantly related to most indicators in the dimensions of socio-economic security,social cohesion,social inclusion and social empowerment.About half of the variation of public social evaluation can be explained by these indicators in the model,and the main contribution is from the dimensional evaluation indicators.It implies that the social quality indicator system achieves a good balance between the evaluation from both experts and the public.This study also helps to understand the elements of public social evaluation,and provide suggestions for social development and social construction.
