简评社会资本理论的研究方法与假设

Brief Evaluation on the Research Methods and Hypotheses of the Social Capital Theory

综观社会资本理论产生的渊源和近年来学者对社会资本理论的研究,整体上社会资本理论的研究方法主要是集体主义和个体主义方法相结合并各有侧重。其理论假设主要是:行动者为理性的“经济人”假设;行动者能力平等假设;网络、结构包含资源假设。社会资本理论的假设使其有自身优越性的同时,也决定了其理论的局限性。

Taking a comprehensive view of the social origin of the capital theories with the review conducted on the theories within recent years, the whole research methods of the capital theories mainly focus on collective and individual doctrine with particular emphasis. Theoratical assumption is mainly about＂ economic person＂ who acts as reasonableness ,the hypothesis of equality of the activity＇ s ability and the assumption of network and structure including the resources, and the assumption of social capital theory makes itself superior, but meawhile, the limitation of the capital theory appears.
