Abstract

This study investigated the effects of ecological-level marketization, individual-level occupational status, and their interaction, on depression in residents in urban China. Population-based data (N = 13,004) from the 2016 China Family Panel Survey were used. A multilevel mixed-effects generalized linear model explored whether and to what extent market transition measured by the marketization index (MI), occupational status measured by international socio-economic index (ISEI), and their interaction, affected people’s depression. Results showed that higher MI (b = –.157, p < .001) and ISEI scores (b = –.124, p < .001) were associated with lower levels of depression. However, residents with high occupational status might suffer a uniquely elevated level of depression when living in highly marketized cities (b = .139, p < .05). Raising the public mental health awareness of residents with low occupational status from low marketized areas and that of residents with high occupational status from high marketized areas is warranted in societies undergoing rapid marketization, such as China.

中国城市人口的市场转型、职业地位与抑郁:基于人口的多水平分析

本研究探讨了生态层面的市场化、个体层面的职业状况及其相互作用对中国城市居民抑郁的影响。基于人口的数据(N = 13,004)来自2016年中国家庭面板调查。多层次混合效应广义线性模型探讨了市场化指数(MI)衡量的市场转型、国际社会经济指数(ISEI)衡量的职业地位及其相互作用是否影响人们的抑郁，以及在多大程度上影响人们的抑郁。结果表明，较高的心肌梗死发生率(b = -)。157, p < 0.001)和ISEI评分(b = -。124, p < 0.001)与较低的抑郁水平相关。然而，高职业地位的居民在高度市场化的城市生活时，抑郁水平可能会升高(b = .139, p < .05)。在快速市场化的社会，如中国，有必要提高低市场化地区低职业地位居民和高职业地位居民的公众心理健康意识。
