“…Sex differences in the four scales measuring social integration (Access to Social Benefits, Satisfaction with the Neighborhood, Positive Social Relations, and Trust in the Finnish Judiciary System) have been reported elsewhere (Grigaitytė et al, 2020) and will accordingly not be reported here. Sex differences in the three scales measuring proactive attitudes towards the integration of immigrants (Cultural Efforts, Structural Efforts, and Openness to Diversity) have likewise been reported elsewhere (Grigaitytė et al, 2019).…”

The association between witnessing domestic aggression and respondents' level of social integration and their proactive attitudes towards the integration of immigrants was assessed with a questionnaire in a sample of the Swedish-speaking minority in Ostrobothnia, Western Finland (n = 298; 208 females and 90 males). The age span was between 16 and 90 years with a mean age of 31.6 years (SD = 13.5). Respondents scoring higher than average on witnessing domestic aggression scored lower than others on the following scales measuring social integration: Access to Social Benefits, Positive Social Relations, and Trust in the Finnish Judiciary System. They also scored lower than others on the following scales measuring proactive attitudes towards the integration of immigrants: (the need for making) Cultural Efforts, Structural Efforts, and Openness to Diversity. They also tended to have a lower level of education than other respondents. The implications of the findings are discussed.

Pembinaan Anak yang Berhadapan dengan Hukum (ABH) dilakukan untuk menjaga hak untuk mendapatkan kesejahteraan psikologis. Tujuan penelitian yang diangkat adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan antara keharmonisan keluarga, integrasi sosial, lokus kendali, dan kesejahteraan psikologis ABH di Lembaga Permasyarakatan Khusus Anak (LPKA). Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif. Sampel dipilih melalui teknik klaster acak dengan kriteria yakni ABH yang memiliki kemampuan membaca dan yang ditempatkan di LPKA Kelas I Tangerang, LPKA Kelas IA Kutoarjo, LPKA Kelas II Yogyakarta, LPKA Kelas II Jakarta, LPKA Kelas I Blitar, dan LPKA Kelas II Bandung. Responden penelitian sebanyak 260 ABH. Pengambilan data dilakukan menggunakan skala keharmonisan keluarga, integrasi sosial, lokus kendali, dan skala kesejahteraan psikologis. Data dianalisis menggunakan Moderate Regression Analysis (MRA). Hasil analisis data penelitian membuktikan semakin tinggi tingkat keharmonisan keluarga, semakin tinggi pula kesejahteraan psikologis ABH. Selain itu, semakin tinggi tingkat integrasi sosial ABH, semakin tinggi pula kesejahteraan psikologis ABH. Akan tetapi, lokus kendali tidak memperkuat hubungan antara keharmonisan keluarga dan kesejahteraan psikologis, serta antara integrasi sosial dan kesejahteraan psikologis ABH. Hasil penelitian dapat digunakan sebagai pijakan petugas kemasyarakatan dalam proses pembinaan ABH sesuai dengan tingkat kesejahteraan psikologis dengan mempertimbangkan tingkat keharmonisan keluarga serta integrasi sosial ABH.

Social Integration and Health Among Young Migrants in China: Mediated by Social Mentality and Moderated by Gender

2022

Population mobility has been one of the most basic social characteristics of China’s reform and opening up for more than 40 years. As the main labor force in Chinese cities, young migrants have made major contributions toward China’s economic miracle as the country has experienced rapid industrialization and urbanization. However, frequent mobility has caused an imbalanced social mentality in young migrants and often leads to issues with social integration, which has made this group more vulnerable with respect to their health. This study used the 2013 and 2015 Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) data of 1,007 young migrants to investigate social mentality mediating the linkage between social integration and health among young migrants. Additionally, to probe the moderating role of gender, multi-group structural equation modeling was applied to test if the pathways in the mediation model differed between young male and female migrants in a significant way. The results suggested that after controlling for the influence of age, marital status, education, and personal annual income, social integration positively impacted the health of young migrants in a significant way; social mentality mediated the action of social integration on this group’s health; and with respect to gender difference, on the three paths of social integration affecting health, social integration affecting social mentality, and social mentality affecting health, young male migrants were more affected than young female migrants. The findings of this study could help improve gender-specific policies on the health of the floating population and offer important theoretical reference and practical suggestions for future research.
