Abstract

Under the background of the COVID-19 pandemic, our paper attempts to advance a dual-process model from online social support to individual resilience via diverse social capital (bonding and bridging) and political beliefs (political efficacy, political trust and city identification). Drawing on a survey of 446 residents in Shanghai, China, the findings indicate that neither informational nor emotional social support directly affects individual resilience, but indirectly influences it through different pathways. Specifically, bridging social capital mediates informational social support and individual resilience, but bonding social capital might not follow a similar path. Notably, political efficacy and political trust are involved in the above mediation between informational social support and individual resilience. Besides, the serial mediation effect of emotional social support on individual resilience via bonding social capital and then city identification or political trust is also significant. Our findings are expected to reveal the mechanism of resilience construction and prepare for the future public health crisis.

在线社会支持如何增强个人在公共卫生危机中的应变能力：检验双过程序列中介模型

在 COVID-19 大流行的背景下，我们的论文试图通过不同的社会资本（纽带和桥梁）和政治信仰（政治效能、政治信任和城市认同），推进一个从网络社会支持到个人抗逆力的双重过程模型。通过对中国上海 446 名居民的调查，研究结果表明，信息或情感方面的社会支持都不会直接影响个人的抗逆力，但会通过不同的途径间接影响个人的抗逆力。具体来说，桥梁型社会资本在信息型社会支持和个人抗逆力之间起到中介作用，但纽带型社会资本可能不会遵循类似的路径。值得注意的是，政治效能和政治信任参与了上述信息社会支持与个体复原力之间的中介作用。此外，情感社会支持通过纽带社会资本，然后通过城市认同或政治信任对个体复原力的序列中介效应也是显著的。我们的研究结果有望揭示抗逆力的构建机制，为应对未来的公共卫生危机做好准备。
