社会资本研究:分类与测量

Social capital research: The typologies and measurement

当前学界在社会资本研究中面临着概念和测量指标的碎片化现象,测量指标体系缺乏系统性和普适性,测量方法面临诸多技术难题。对社会资本的合理分类和规范化讨论是避免理论和测量混乱的重要前提,有利于澄清社会资本的内涵和外延,深入认识和解决社会资本测量存在的问题,可避免社会资本因负载太多等因素而成为"流行的狂热"。

During the social capital research, the main problems are confusion of the concept, fragment of the measurement indicators, and the technological puzzles in measuring method. To classify social capital reasonably is an important premise for getting around the problems of theoretical and measuring confusion, and is beneficial to the clarification of its connotation and extension. The in-depth understanding and solution of the problems in social capital measurement avoids the social capital research becoming ＂fashionable craze＂.
