中国公众的凝聚力指数调查报告(2012)

Report on China's Index of Public Cohesion (2012)

本研究旨在结合问卷调查,了解中国民众的凝聚力水平。调查测试了受访者在凝聚力的三要素——社会信任、社会资本和自组织能动性——方面的情况。调查发现,中国公众的凝聚力处于中等偏低水平。学历高的人并不比学历低的人拥有更强的自组织能动性。在寻找恋爱对象方面感到困难的人,对他人更加多疑,其凝聚力水平也较低。对自己的社会交往感到满意的人,也更容易相信别人,并且更愿意参与公共事务。人们应通过加强社区建设、提高青少年公民教育水平等措施促进社会团结。

This study aims to understand the level of cohesion of the Chinese public based on a questionnaire survey. Respondents were asked questions about the three elements of cohesion-social trust, social capital and self-organization initiative. This Report shows that China's public cohesion scores a lower middle level. Highly educated people do not tend to possess stronger self-organization initiative than lowly educated people. The more difficulties one has in finding a lover, the more he is suspicious of other people, and the lower his level of cohesion is. The more one is content with his social capital, the more he trusts others, and the more he is willing to participate in public affairs. Social unity can be promoted by strengthening community development and improving educational attainment of the young people.
