阻断贫困代际再生产:母亲的中介桥梁及政策的心理学思考

Reducing the Intergenerational Transmission of Poverty:The Mediating Role of Mother and Psychology of Policy

贫困代际再生产的逻辑起点一般从阶层继承和地位获得的研究范式出发,并强调父辈,尤其是父亲的社会经济地位和教育程度是影响子代贫困与否的重要变量。从处境不利的贫困儿童出发,可以发现贫困代际再生产过程中的家庭传导机制,尤其是母亲的桥梁作用,强调母亲角色是影响贫困代际再生产和阻断贫困传递的重要中介因素。在此基础上,提出反贫困政策干预中针对母亲的重要作用,采用早期教育补偿性功能、亲子互动保护性作用、降低女性刻板印象威胁,以及关注贫困母亲本体发展的政策心理学干预方案,以期有的放矢地阻断贫困的代际传递,从根源上向贫困宣战。

Poverty is a unquestionably important issue on a global level.One of the greatest tragedies of extreme poverty is its intergenerational transmission.It might be argued that the most extreme form of chronic poverty is that which persists over an entire course of life or even across generations.In China,more than fifty millions poor populationhas fell into a vicious circle of intergenerational transmission.What factors increase the likelihood that poverty is passed from one generation to another?This paper discusses the association between dimensions of children poverty,individual psychological characteristics,family transmission mechanism and the mediating role of mother.This paper attempts to determine that the role of mother plays a very important in the procedure of reducing the intergenerational transmission of poverty.In fact,poverty transmission can vary based on the time and duration of poverty experienced by the disadvantaged children.Therefore,psychology of policy would provide the new perspectives and shed new light on reducing the intergenerational transmission of poverty.
