现有关于中国城市农民工主观幸福感（SWB）的文献强调了社会关系的关键作用，但社会关系影响其主观幸福感的途径仍然知之甚少。本文利用广州调查数据和多层次线性回归，研究了农民工与邻居的社会关系增强其主观幸福感的程度和方式，特别关注邻里关系的主效应和缓冲效应之间的区别。多层次模型的结果表明，邻里关系可以直接提高移民的主观幸福感，但没有证据表明邻里关系可以减轻邻里剥夺的负面影响。研究结果还表明，当地人的邻里关系与主观幸福感之间的关联比移民更强。本文通过理清移民与邻居的社会关系的积极影响，并研究移民的邻里关系在应对邻里剥夺所产生的压力方面的作用，有助于我们理解移民的主观幸福感。 (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Existing literature on migrants' subjective wellbeing (SWB) in Chinese cities has highlighted the crucial role of social ties, yet the pathways by which social ties influence their SWB remain poorly understood. Using Guangzhou survey data and multilevel linear regressions, this paper examines the extent to and ways in which migrants' social ties with neighbours enhance their SWB, with a particular focus on the distinction between the main effects and buffering effects of their neighbourhood ties. Results from multilevel models reveal that neighbourhood ties enhance migrants' SWB in a direct manner, but no evidence shows that neighbourhood ties lessen the negative impacts of neighbourhood deprivation. Results also illustrate that the association between neighbourhood ties and SWB is stronger for locals than for migrants. This paper contributes to our understanding of migrants' SWB by disentangling the positive effects of their social ties with neighbours and investigating the role of migrants' neighbourhood ties in relation to stress arising from neighbourhood deprivation.
