The Correlation between College Students' Childhood Subjective Socioeconomic Status and Humanizing Perception

From the perspective of individual development, this study explored the relationship between college students' childhood subjective socioeconomic status and their perception of humanization (including self-humanizing and other-humanizing). Three hundred college students were selected by random sampling method, and the data were collected by the questionnaire of childhood subjective socioeconomic status and the scale of humanizing perception. The results showed that there was a significant positive correlation between childhood subjective socioeconomic status and self-humanizing perception  (r=.229, p<.01), and that of others (r=.156, p<.01). Childhood subjective socioeconomic status significantly predicted the self-humanizing perception (β=0.238, p<.001) and others (β=0.223, p<.001). The conclusion was that the childhood subjective socioeconomic status and humanizing perception of college students are above the average level. Childhood subjective socioeconomic status was a significant positive predictor of the humanizing perception of self and others.
