农民工与市民之间的群际关系研究综述

Literature Review on Migrant-Urbanite Intergroup Relationshipfrom Intergroup Network Perspective

农民工与市民的群际关系研究可以归纳出社会距离、群际交往和群际网络三种视角。社会距离视角形成了较为成熟和规范的研究范式,但由于仅仅关注群际关系的主观维度,因此无法替代对群际关系的客观维度的考察。群际交往视角虽然聚焦群际关系的客观维度,但未能形成成熟、规范、普遍认可的操作化方案,同时无力揭示群际关系的整体结构特征。而在这两个方面,群际网络视角恰好可以弥补群际交往视角的缺陷。遗憾的是,群际网络视角在既有研究中很少被应用。因此,在农民工与市民的群际关系研究中,群际网络视角是一个既富有潜力又亟待发展的方向。

Three perspectives can be recognized from past research on the intergroup relationship between rural-urban migrants and local urbanites.Social distance perspective develops into a rather mature and standardized paradigm.However,with its focus on subjective dimensions of intergroup relationship,it cannot replace the perspectives focusing on objective dimensions.Intergroup interaction perspective focuses on objective dimensions,but it does not provide mature,standardized,and generally accepted patterns in the operationalization of social interaction and cannot reveal the structural properties of intergroup relations as a whole.Intergroup network perspective can compensate the two shortcomings of intergroup interaction perspective.Unfortunately,intergroup network perspective has been rarely and poorly applied in past research.Therefore,in future research on migrant-urbanite intergroup relationship,intergroup network perspective will be not only of great potential but also urgently needed.
