城乡居民主观生活质量比较研究初探

An Initial Comparative Study on the Subjective Perception of Quality of Life by Urban and Rural Residents

本研究在山东省范围内取样(N=1,224),对中国城市居民主观幸福感量表运用于城乡居民的测量学特性进行了检验。结果表明,该量表适用于城乡居民。运用该量表对城乡居民主观生活质量的初步比较研究表明,从总体上看,农村居民的主观生活质量低于城市居民。这种差距反映了我国城乡经济社会发展中客观存在的差距。经济转轨和社会转型对农村社会的观念与心理冲击要远远大于城市社会,因此农村居民的主观生活质量对于整个社会的稳定与发展具有不可忽略的影响,应当引起高度的关注。

With a sample of 1,224 from Shandong Province, this study examined the psychometric characteristics of SWBS-CC (Subjective Well-Being Scale for Chinese Citizens) when applied to the urban and rural residents. This scale was found to have excellent reliability and validity. The subjective well-being scores of the rural residents were lower than the scores of the people who lived in cities, reflecting the actual socioeconomic differences between the urban and rural areas. The rural areas might have to take a stronger impacting force of the transition to a market economy and the transformation of society on the ideological and psychological levels. The subjective perception of the quality of life by the rural residents is extremely important and deserves close attention due to its definite influence on the stability and development of society.
