摘要:

［目的］农户自身资源是其预防及应对风险的重要依赖，而社会资本在提升农户生计资源方面有重要的作用。［方法］文章基于湖北、广西和江西3省6县570个农户的调研数据，运用中介效应模型解析社会资本、大病风险感知及非正式预防行为三者间的关系。［结果］（1）社会信任、社会参与、社会声望、社会网络及社会资本总量对大病风险感知均有显著的负向影响； （2）社会网络和社会信任对非正式预防行为有显著正向影响，而社会参与维度对非正式预防行为有显著负向影响； 大病风险感知对非正式预防行为有显著的正向影响； （3）大病风险感知在社会资本和非正式预防行为之间起着中介作用。［结论］可通过培育不同维度的社会资本，增加农户社会资源； 引导非正式制度的发展； 加强对农户的宣传教育及完善公共卫生医疗等基础设施建设等以增强农户风险应对能力。

Abstract:

Farmers′ own resources are important reliances for preventing and responding to risks, and social capital plays an important role on improving rural households′ livelihood resources. Based on the survey data of 570 rural households in six counties in Hubei, Guangxi, and Jiangxi, this paper used the mediating effect model to analyze the relationship among social capital, risk perception, and informal preventive behavior. The results showed that (1) Social trust, social participation, social prestige, social network, and total social capital had significant negative effects on risk perception of serious illness;(2) Social networks and social trust had a significant positive effect on informal prevention behaviors, while social participation dimension had a significant negative impact on informal prevention behaviors; serious illness risk perception had a significant positive impact on informal prevention behaviors;(3) Risk perception of serious illness played an intermediary role between social capital and informal prevention behavior. Therefore, it is possible to increase the social resources of farmers by nurturing different dimensions of social capital; guide the development of informal institutions; strengthen education for farmers and improve infrastructure construction such as public health care to enhance farmers′ risk response capabilities.
