个人认知社会资本与青少年健康水平及幸福感关系的实证分析——来自中国家庭追踪调查(CFPS)的证据

An Empirical Analysis of the Relationship between Personal Cognitive Social Capital and Adolescent Health Level and Well-being——Evidence from the China Family Panel Studies(CFPS)

青少年健康水平和福祉发展是卫生与健康经济学所研究的重要领域之一。近年来社会资本与健康水平的研究也日益受到学者的关注,但具体到社会资本对于青少年福祉的实证研究则仍待加强。本文利用中国家庭追踪调查(CFPS)2012年和2014年的两期数据,实证研究了青少年个人认知社会资本对于自身健康水平和心理幸福感的影响及相关作用机制。从认知角度选取了青少年个人认知社会资本的代理变量,分别运用Probit模型和Oprobit模型衡量了相关关系;然后进一步利用倾向得分匹配方法评估了个人认知社会资本的异质性影响。结果表明,青少年个人认知社会资本对于心理幸福感有显著正向影响,而对于自身健康水平的影响则不显著。此外,倾向得分匹配结果显示个人认知社会资本对于青少年幸福感的影响在性别、城乡和家庭人口规模上存在异质性,其中对于男性青少年影响高于女性青少年,城市地区高于农村地区,非独生子女高于独生子女。同时还发现,虽然认知社会资本对于健康水平影响不显著,但是家庭结构对于青少年健康水平有显著影响,非独生子女的健康水平高于独生子女健康水平。最后,认知社会资本的积极作用使得在制定促进青少年健康发展的相关政策时应考虑提高其个人的认知社会资本水平。

Adolescent health and well-being development is one of the important areas of research in the Health and Health Economics.In recent years,the study of social capital and health level has been increasingly concerned by scholars,but the empirical research on social capital for the well-being of young people still needs to be strengthened.This paper uses data from the China Family Panel Studies(CFPS)in 2012 and 2014 to empirically study the impact of adolescents’cognitive social capital on their own health and psychological well-being.This paper selects the proxy variables of adolescents’cognitive social capital from the perspective of cognition,and uses the Probit and the Oprobit model to measure the correlation.Next,the paper uses the propensity score matching method to evaluate the heterogeneity impact of cognitive social capital.The results show that adolescents’personal cognitive social capital has a significant positive impact on psychological well-being,while the impact on their own health level is not significant.In addition,there are differences in the impact of personal cognitive social capital on the level of well-being of adolescents in terms of gender,urban and rural and family size.Among them,male teenagers have higher influence than females,urban areas are higher than rural areas,and non-only children are higher than the only child.At the same time,although cognitive social capital has no significant impact on health status,family structure has a significant impact on adolescent health,and the health of non-only children is higher than that of only child.The positive role of cognitive social capital makes it possible to consider raising the level of cognitive social capital of individuals when formulating relevant policies to promote the healthy development of adolescents.
