Abstract

The importance of prosocial behavior in helping migrant youths overcome challenges associated with relocating to urban settings has been emphasized. However, the trajectory of prosocial behavior in this population and the factors influencing it remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the influence of cumulative family risk on the growth trajectory of prosocial behavior among Chinese rural-to-urban migrant adolescents from 7th grade to 8th grade. Additionally, it delved into the moderating role of school belonging in the relationship between cumulative family risk and prosocial development. The participants in this study included rural-to-urban migrant adolescents (Mean age = 13.52, SD = 1.23, N = 844) and their parents. Outcomes from latent growth curve modeling revealed that migrant adolescents displayed intra-individual increases in prosocial behavior during the transition from 7th grade to 8th grade, while cumulative family risk had a negative influence on these changes. Nevertheless, the adverse impact of cumulative family risk on prosocial development was alleviated for adolescents who reported a heightened sense of belonging within the school environment. These findings underscore the protective role of school belonging in the prosocial development of migrant adolescents, especially for those facing elevated cumulative family risk.

累积家庭风险与从农村到城市的移民青少年的亲社会行为：学校归属感的调节作用

亲社会行为在帮助外来务工青年克服迁居城市环境所带来的挑战方面的重要性一直受到重视。然而，该人群亲社会行为的发展轨迹及其影响因素仍不清楚。本研究旨在探讨从七年级到八年级的中国农村进城务工青少年中，家庭累积风险对其亲社会行为成长轨迹的影响。此外，本研究还探讨了学校归属感在累积性家庭风险与亲社会发展之间的调节作用。本研究的参与者包括从农村到城市的流动青少年（平均年龄=13.52，标准差=1.23，人数=844）及其父母。潜在成长曲线模型的结果显示，在从七年级到八年级的过渡时期，流动青少年的亲社会行为在个体内部有所增长，而累积家庭风险对这些变化产生了负面影响。然而，对于那些对学校环境有更强归属感的青少年来说，累积家庭风险对亲社会发展的不利影响有所缓解。这些发现强调了学校归属感对流动青少年亲社会发展的保护作用，尤其是对那些面临高累积性家庭风险的青少年而言。
