TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Effect of socioeconomic status on children's psychological well-being in China: the mediating role of family social capital JO - Journal of health psychology A1 - Ge, Ting SP - 1359105317750462 EP - 1359105317750462 VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - This study aimed to examine the relationship between socioeconomic status and children's psychological well-being and to investigate the mediating effect of family social capital. A sample of 19,487 school-aged children was collected from 2013-2014 China Education Panel Survey. Structural equation modeling was applied to test the hypothesized model. The results showed that socioeconomic status was not significantly related to the children's psychological well-being. However, two indicators of family social capital, namely, parent involvement and parent-child relationship, played a complete mediating role in the direct mechanism. The theoretical and practical contributions were discussed.
