Abstract

Based on bioecological theory, the macrosystem plays a significant role in developing psychological capital. However, the trend of psychological capital among Chinese undergraduates has been unclear, with research lacking a macrosocial perspective. To address this, this study conducted a cross-temporal meta-analysis of 43 studies using the Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PPQ) from 2008 to 2022, involving 31,975 participants. The results showed an increasing trend in psychological capital, with six macrosocial indicators—economic conditions (GDP, consumption, urbanization), internet usage (penetration rate, weekly usage), and social threat (crime rate)—predicting this trend. These findings provide empirical evidence for the temporal changes in psychological capital and expand the influence model by incorporating macrosocial factors.

社会变迁对中国大学生心理资本的影响：出生队列差异的跨时间元分析（2008-2022）

基于生物生态学理论，宏观系统在心理资本的形成中起着重要作用。然而，中国大学生心理资本的发展趋势尚不清楚，缺乏宏观社会视角的研究。为了解决这一问题，本研究对2008年至2022年43项使用积极心理资本问卷（PPQ）的研究进行了跨时间元分析，涉及31,975名参与者。结果显示心理资本呈上升趋势，六个宏观社会指标——经济状况（GDP、消费、城市化）、互联网使用（普及率、每周使用）和社会威胁（犯罪率）——预测了这一趋势。这些发现为心理资本的时间变化提供了实证证据，并通过纳入宏观社会因素扩展了影响模型。

期刊介绍： Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
