PI: Melvin L. Kohn Co-PI: Yin YueInstitution: Johns Hopkins UniversityTitle: Doctoral Dissertation Research: Social Mobility and Attained Social PositionAward Number: Abstract:Focusing on rural-to-urban migrants, who were missed in most sociological studies conducted in China, this research project will assess theoretical interpretations of two fundamental social processes: social mobility, and the relationship of position in the social structure to personality. The following questions will be explored: Could the general social mobility models developed in highly industrialized countries be applied directly to the rural-to-urban migrants? What aspects should we reconsider and how should we revise current models to understand the mobility process of rural-to-urban migrants more comprehensively? Is it people?s current positions in the social structure under current institutional setting or their initial positions in the social structure that affects their personalities, or both? Will rural origin have permanent effects on people?s later personality? What are the relationships of social structure and personality for rural migrants to cities? Do such relationships differ from those of people who have urban origins? To answer these questions, comparative analyses will be conducted between the migrants and other appropriate populations, using data of this study, data of China General Social Survey, and the findings and data of an NSF-supported survey conducted by Kohn and his collaborators in 2006. The data collection will be conducted in Beijing, China. A combination of map-sampling and normal random sampling procedures will be used to find these rural-to-urban migrants, and both quantitative survey and intensive case study will be conducted. Results from this research will be disseminated through conference papers and academic publications. This proposed research will stimulate scholars? interest in doing quantitative studies of rural-to-urban migrants who are generally underrepresented in most surveys in China. It will offer scholars and policymakers a chance to rethink the limitations of findings and conclusions from studies that failed to include this segment of urban population. The findings of this research may help scholars and policymakers better understand the migrant population in urban China, and help them in making policies that can overcome discrimination against rural migrants, which is recognized as one of the most crucial social problems in transitional China.

Kohn Co-Pi：Yin Yueinstitution：Johns Hopkins UniversityTitle：博士学位论文研究：社会流动性和获得社会位置的编号：摘要：关注城市移民，他们在中国的大多数社会学研究中都错过了农村移民，这项研究项目将评估社交社会的构建能力，并在社交方面进行了社交的诠释：对社交的态度：对社会的发展态度，并在社交方面进行了研究：研究和社交的性能：该基础性的态度和社交率在研究方面，并在中国进行了研究，并且对社会的态度进行了研究，并且对社交的态度进行了研究，并且对社会的态度进行了研究，并且在中国进行了社会的诠释。将探讨以下问题：在高度工业化国家开发的一般社会流动模型是否可以直接应用于农村对城市移民？我们应该重新考虑哪些方面，我们应该如何修改当前模型以更全面地了解农村移民的移动性过程？在当前的机构环境下还是在影响其个性的社会结构中，人们在社会结构中的当前立场是在社会结构中的当前立场吗？农村起源会对后来的个性产生永久影响吗？农村移民到城市的社会结构和个性的关系是什么？这种关系与具有城市起源的人的关系有不同吗？为了回答这些问题，将使用本研究的数据，中国一般社会调查的数据以及Kohn及其合作者在2006年进行的NSF支持的调查的发现和数据将在移民和其他适当人群之间进行比较分析。数据收集将在中国北京进行。将使用地图采样和正常随机抽样程序的组合来找到这些农村到城市的移民，并将进行定量调查和强化案例研究。这项研究的结果将通过会议论文和学术出版物传播。这项拟议的研究将刺激学者？对中国大多数调查中通常不足的农村移民进行定量研究的兴趣。它将为学者和政策制定者提供机会，重新考虑未能包括这段城市人口的研究结果的局限性和结论。这项研究的结果可以帮助学者和政策制定者更好地了解中国城市的移民人口，并帮助他们制定可以克服对农村移民歧视的政策，这被认为是过渡性中国最关键的社会问题之一。
