This study will look at the relationships between adolescents‘ mental health, their achievement at school and the social capital that they possess. John Field (2003) summed up the theory of social capital in two words: relationships matter. These relationships may be in the form of associations between immediate family members, extended family, friends, or members of a wider community. This research will aim to establish: What personal characteristics does a person with high social capital generally have? Is it important to have a high level of social capital to maintain good mental health and to exhibit high achievement at school? How are social capital, mental health and educational attainment related to each other? What types of social capital are most important in promoting positive outcomes for individuals. For example, do relationships within the family trump those within the wider community in enabling children to exhibit good psychological health? The study will initially use survey data to examine the questions outlined above. Following this, interviews will be carried out with children, their families and members of the wider community.

本研究将探讨青少年的心理健康、学业成就与其所拥有的社会资本之间的关系。John Field（2003）用两个词总结了社会资本理论：关系重要。这些关系可以是直系亲属、大家庭、朋友或更广泛社区成员之间的联系。本研究的目的是：高社会资本的人一般具有哪些个人特征？拥有高水平的社会资本对保持良好的心理健康和在学校表现出高成就是否重要？社会资本、心理健康和教育程度之间有什么关系？什么类型的社会资本对促进个人的积极成果最重要。例如，在使儿童表现出良好的心理健康方面，家庭内的关系是否胜过更广泛的社区内的关系？这项研究将首先利用调查数据来审查上述问题。在此之后，将与儿童、他们的家庭和更广泛的社区成员进行访谈。
