社交网络是由一组具有嵌入式关系的社会行为者构成的社会结构，它对个体和群体之间的感知和行为都有重要影响。社交网络对公民参与社会治理意愿的影响表现在两个方面：一是社交网络直接影响公民的参与意愿;二是由社交网络、社会信任、社会规范构成的社会资本影响公民的参与意愿。本文基于一项关于社交网络中公民参与的省际调查，运用有序Logistic模型，探讨了社交网络对公民参与意愿的影响。研究结果表明：（1）社交网络对公民参与社会治理的意愿有显著影响，具体表现为社交网络越强，公民的参与意愿水平越高;（2）社交网络与社会信任、社会规范共同构成社会资本，社会资本对公民参与社会治理的意愿有显著影响，表现为社会资本存量越高，公民的参与意愿水平越高;（3）从人口统计学特征的透镜来看，男性、高学历、中共党员、东部地区居民参与意愿更高。
Social networks are social structure constituted by a set of social actors with embedded relationships, which has a significant impact on both perceptions and behaviors among individuals and groups. The influence of the social networks on citizens’ willingness to participate in social governance is manifested in two aspects: one is that social networks directly affects the citizens’ willingness to participate; the other is the social capital made up by social networks, social trust, and social norms affects the citizens’ willingness to participate. Drawing on a transprovincial survey regarding citizen participation in the social networks, this paper uses the Ordered Logistic model to explore how does social networks affect the citizens’ willingness to participate. The results show that (1) social networks have a significant impact on citizens’ willingness to participate in social governance, specifically, the stronger the social networks are, the higher level of the citizens’ willingness to participate will be; (2) social networks, together with social trust and social norms constitute social capital, and the social capital has a significant impact on the citizens’ willingness to participate in social governance, which is manifested; the higher the social capital stock is, the higher level of the citizens’ willingness to participate will be; and (3) from the lens of demographic characteristics, those who are male, high educated, CCP members, or from the eastern region of China are more willing to participate.
