摘要: 本文超越了既有研究的个体网络视角,通过使用中国教育追踪调查(CEPS)的两期数据,考察班级同伴网络对学生心理健康的影响及其条件机制。本研究有如下发现:首先,在中国行政班级制度下,班级整体心理健康水平(社会遵从效应)和快乐同伴比例(快乐同伴效应)能够对学生的心理健康产生显著的正向影响,抑郁同伴比例与学生的心理健康呈显著负相关(抑郁同伴效应);其次,学生更倾向于受到与自己心理健康观念和行为类似的同伴的影响,对于班级相对心理健康状况较差、中等、较好的学生而言,抑郁同伴效应、社会遵从效应和快乐同伴效应分别发挥显著的主导作用;最后,班级同伴网络对集体融入、亲子交流状况不同的学生的心理健康具有差异化的影响,随着集体融入和亲子交流的提高,抑郁同伴效应逐渐减弱,而社会遵从效应和快乐同伴效应逐渐增强。

Abstract: Based on the background of China's administrative school class system and the existing literature on peer networks and mental health, this paper proposes a theoretical presupposition on the influence of class peer networks on students' mental health and its conditional mechanism. A multi-layer linear model is applied to test this theoretical presupposition. Using the China Educational Panel Survey (CEPS) data in the years of 2014 and 2015, this study obtained the following solid and consistent findings:First, under the Chinese administrative class system, the overall mental health level of the class (social compliance effect) and the happy peer proportion (happy peer effect) can have a significant positive impact on students' mental health, and the proportion of depressed peers is significantly correlated with students' negative mental health (depressed peer effect). Secondly, students are more likely to be influenced by peers with similar mental health concepts and behaviors, and groups with poor, medium and good mental health are predominantly affected by depression peer effect, social compliance effect and happy peer effect respectively. Finally, class peer networks have a differentiated impact on the mental health of students with different group integration and parent-child communication. With the improvement of group integration and parent-child communication, the depressed peer effect gradually weakens, while the social compliance effect and happy peer effect gradually increase. In conclusion, this study tested the social compliance effect, depressive peer effect and happy peer effect under the administrative class system, and further explored the conditional mechanism of the three effects on different individual students, the relationship between individual and class, and parent-child relationship. The finding of peer effect in this paper can provide future references for the improvement of the mental health of adolescents through human intervention and adjustment.
