社会资本的概念在社会行为流行病学和健康教育研究中引起了广泛关注。本研究的目的是开发“个人社会资本量表”,用于与健康和行为相关的社会因素的定量调查研究。该工具包含 10 个综合项目,基于 42 个项目,用于评估个人拥有的社会资本,包括粘合资本和过渡资本。该工具使用从 128 名参与者(64 名女性)收集的横断面调查数据进行评估,参与率为 95%。相关性和验证性因素分析的结果表明足够的可靠性和内部一致性。该量表的总社会资本平均得分为 25.9 (SD = 5.2),纽带社会资本为 15.2 (SD = 3.0),桥接社会资本为 10.8 (SD = 3.4)。量表分数显着预测了许多理论上相关的因素,包括人际交往能力、社交能力、社会资本投资、信息支持、工具支持、情感支持和集体效能。该工具为跨文化研究评估个人拥有的社会资本提供了一种新工具。
The concept of social capital has drawn much attention in social and behavioral epidemiology and health education research. The purpose of this study is to develop the 'Personal Social Capital Scale' for quantitative survey studies of social factors that are related to health and behavior. The instrument contained 10 composite items based on 42 items for assessing personally owned social capital, including bonding and bridging capitals. The instrument was assessed using cross-sectional survey data collected among 128 participants (64 women) with a participation rate of 95%. Results from correlation and confirmatory factor analysis indicated adequate reliability and internal consistency. The mean score of the scale was 25.9 (SD = 5.2) for total social capital, 15.2 (SD = 3.0) for bonding social capital and 10.8 (SD = 3.4) for bridging social capital. The scale scores significantly predicted a number of theoretically related factors, including people skills, being sociable, social capital investment, informational support, instrumental support, emotional support and collective efficacy. This instrument provides a new tool for cross-cultural research to assess personally owned social capital.
