摘 要:

新冠肺炎疫情是风险社会特征的集中体现。最新调查数据显示,社会资本作为有效的社会机制,能够通过提高感染知情程度、扩大公众的困难解决途径、调整人们的心态,帮助人们保持身体健康、维持常态生活、平稳渡过疫情。模型分析表明,以关系互动紧密性为特征的内聚社会资本的防疫作用是直接、正向、稳健的,而以资讯来源异质性为特征的外联社会资本是补充性的,其作用是间接、不稳健的。尽管疫情期间的居家隔离切断了人们的物理联系,但信息时代的社会资本通过线上社交打破这种隔离,帮助人们保持核心关系圈的紧密互动,维持广泛联系渠道,避免了风险社会中个体化的危害,在防疫和抗疫过程中发挥了积极作用。  

 

Social Capital and Responsive Resistance to Epidemic Risk

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic is a manifestation of risk society. A new survey shows that social capital as an effective social mechanism helps people keep physical health by increasing their coronavirus awareness, maintain normal life by expanding ways of overcoming difficulties, and survive the epidemic by developing their positive attitudes during the difficult times of the pandemic. The analysis also demonstrates that bonding social capital characterized by intensified social interactions within core personal networks is dominant with direct, positive, and robust effects, while bridging social capital characterized by heterogeneity of information sources is supplementary, with indirect and inconsistent effects. The overarching message of this study is insightful and inspiring. While physical isolation caused by measures of stay-at-home and community lockdowns during the COVID-19 epidemic may get people separated from one another, bonding and bridging social capitals connect them through offline and online social contact, thus helping to maintain both core personal networks and more distant alters, reducing individualization costs of risk society, and enhancing people's social power to combat the epidemic.
