本文报道了中国三峡大坝工程中工程移民的前瞻性研究结果。这项研究检验了这样的假设，即非自愿移民的预期是有压力的，而且有害影响部分地通过移民拥有的资源来调节和缓和。使用从指定移民(n=975)和非移民(n=555)收集的数据，我们的分析表明，对非自愿移民的预期是精神痛苦的一个强有力的预测因子。对被迫移民的预期不仅直接，而且间接地通过削弱保障移民精神健康的社会和心理资源(即社会支持和掌握)来提高抑郁(CES-D)。然而，我们的结果显示，资源缓解强迫移民有害影响的假设得到的支持要少得多。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Findings from a prospective study of project-induced migration in China's Three Gorges Dam project are reported. The study tests the hypotheses that anticipation of involuntary migration is stressful and that the harmful effects are partially mediated and moderated by the resources migrants possess. Using data collected from a sample of designated migrants (n = 975) who will be forced to relocate because they live in an area, which will be flooded once the Three Gorges project is completed, and non-migrants (n = 555) in the same region, our analysis indicates that anticipation of involuntary migration is a robust predictor of mental distress. Anticipation of forced migration elevates depression (CES-D) not only directly, but also indirectly by weakening the social and the psychological resources (i.e., social support and mastery), which safeguard the mental well-being of migrants. However, our results show much less support for the hypothesis that resources moderate harmful effects of forced migration. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
