Correlations Between Health-Related Quality of Life and Interpersonal Trust: Comparisons Between Two Generations of Chinese Rural-to-Urban Migrants

Abstract

The new generation of Chinese rural-to-urban migrants, who were born after the 1980s, has played an increasingly significant role in the development of China. This paper explores the correlations between interpersonal trust and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of Chinese rural-to-urban migrants by comparing two generations. A survey (N = 769) was conducted on rural-to-urban migrants in Wuhan in 2012. Significant differences between the two generations emerged in terms of education, working hours, and other factors. First-generation migrants reported a higher level of trust in family, relatives, and neighbors compared with new-generation migrants. The new generation had better physical health and worse mental health. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation model were employed. Results indicated that the new generation obtained more path coefficients that passed the significance tests; that is, interpersonal trust obtained more significant correlations with the new generation. The coefficient between workmate trust and vitality among new-generation migrants was the largest (5.293, P \ 0.001), whereas the coefficient between family trust and vitality among first-generation migrants was the smallest (1.639, P \ 0.05). The correlations between the six domains of interpersonal trust and HRQOL were balanced. The different backgrounds in upbringing, occupational and living conditions, changed values, and psychological characteristics were associated with these. This study highlighted the need to address the psychological concerns, treatment, and intervention of the new generation of Chinese rural-to-urban migrants.

Multi-tenant Main Memory Index Tree with Shared Structure

“…TPC-C is an OLTP base a project simulating goods management environment of a wholesaler and can be deployed on a multi-tenant data platform. Each tenant has 8 indexes and 10 6 tuples, and index entries are randomly generated for each index [9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Figure 2 gives the comparison on space occupation of MSM and NS.…”

Self-adaption Image Enhancement Algorithm Based on Rule Fuzzy Inference Mechanism

“…In the proposed fuzzy self-adaption enhancement technology, the key parameter is the maximal rational contrast gain value Gmax (x, y), as shown in Model (13), and this value is significantly influenced by field Wxy with the dimension as (2n+1)x(2n+1). The larger pixel field can generate wider intensity scope.…”

Risk Assessment of Financial Market under the Restriction of Market Incentive Mechanism

“…Genetic algorithm (GA) [9] is applicable to the task solution in a specific known environment. Since such algorithm can be easily caught in the local optimal solution, the trust degree calculation method of the trust evaluation mechanism based on "commitment" is adopted to adjust the fitness of the model as the weighted sum of the direct fitness and the indirect fitness.…”
